Preview: Busoga United Battling Relegation
Busoga United will be eyeing maximum points when they welcome Bright Stars in a league game at Njeru.
Busoga sit second from the bottom, only above Arua Hill who were relegated before the second round.
For the past three seasons, Busoga have been battling relegation but this campaign may prove one where they will lose the battle.
A squad devoid of quality and motivation has been their biggest undoing, and recent departure of Coach Peter Onen has been the latest blow.
All is not lost however for a side that sits two points adrift of safety, and a win on Thursday can send them out of the red zone.
Bright Stars on the other hand, has blown hot and cold this season, and have drawn their last three games in the league 1-1.
And notably, they haven’t won an away game this season as well.
