Table leaders SC Villa make a trip to Njeru where second placed BUL is the opponent in the top of the table clash at the Fufa Technical Centre, Njeru on Tuesday.
Villa assumed summit following a 2-1 win over Lugazi on Saturday, the same day BUL were denied maximum points by Entebbe UPPC at Njeru.
The two sides are unbeaten and separated by a single point with Villa on 21 in nine matches, one ahead of BUL who have a game in hand.
Alex Isabirye, former Villa player and now coach of BUL understands the opponent his side are meeting on Tuesday describing the tie as difficult.
“It is one of the most organised teams in the league and they are not table leaders by mistake,” said Isabirye. “The game will not be easy but we have prepared well and I think we shall come out victorious,” he added.
BUL welcome back Denis Ssewagudde and Edward Masembe from compassionate leave after they missed the draw with the Printers with Isabirye confirming they will be changes in the squad.
The hosts will however rely mainly on forwards Alex Kitaata, Derrick Byabachwezi and youngsters Swabir Mpasa and Simon Achidi to breach the Villa backline manned by skipper Arnold Odong.
But they must be wary of the threat posed by Frank Ssebuufu who has scored four goals in as many recent outings.
The previous 28 league meetings since 2012 have equal statistics with nine wins apiece [D9].
Elsewhere, third placed NEC host limping UPDF at Lugogo while Kitara’s unbeaten run faces Police test at Kamwokya.
