Preview: No Room For Error!
There will be no room for error as leaders Kitara face hosts NEC under the Lugogo floodlights.
Currently, Kitara are top of the log, ahead by five points over Villa and six over Vipers, while NEC trails closely.
BUL, in second place, remains a formidable contender, trailing Kitara by four points.
With Villa and Vipers having played fewer games, any lapse in performance could prove fatal to their title aspirations.
Kitara’s recent victory at Lugogo against KCCA at this venue, coupled with their impressive defensive record of seven consecutive games without conceding a goal, instills confidence as they face NEC in familiar surroundings.
On the other hand, NEC enters the fixture on the back of a loss to Wakiso Giants, signaling a dip in form with two consecutive defeats.
