Bright Stars vs Lugazi – Kavumba 4pm
Express vs SC Villa – Nakivubo 7pm

Kitara will have a revenge mission when they visit Soltilo Bright Stars at Kavumba on Friday.

The two sides are desperate to pick points after faltering in their opening seven matches with Bright Stars yet to win a game as they sit at the base of standings with only 3 points while Kitara are on four points, topping the relegation zone log.

Last season, the 1-0 win over the Royals by Bright Stars ended their quest for the maiden league title and that will be on their minds.

Both teams have new faces in the dugout with Ian Mutenda on interim basis for Bright Stars who sacked Joseph Mutyaba after losing to Bul and this will be the first match for the new gaffer.

For Kitara, they are with Wasswa Bbosa who started his reign on a sour note with defeat to URA despite dominating the game.

It remains to be seen which changes Bbosa will make to the team especially in attack after Denis Omedi, Jude Ssemugabi and Patrick Kaddu misfired against the Tax Collectors.
