Hamz stadium, Nakivubo 7pm

There will be no love lost when Alex Isabirye faces former employers BUL at the Hamz stadium, Nakivubo in a late kick off on Friday.

URA who look to pick their first home win host struggling BUL with Abbey Kikomeko under enormous pressure at the moment.

The two sides are enjoying different strides with URA 5th on 7 points after two victories, a draw and defeat while BUL, winless so far find themselves in an unfamiliar territory sitting in the bottom three with only two points.

A win could take the tax collectors top of the table especially if NEC falters at home to Maroons in an early kick off clash at Lugogo.

Failure to win for the 5th game this season could spell doom for Kikomeko who misses part of his technical staff in Simeon Masaba and Noah Kasule who are with the national U-20 side in Dar es Salaam.
