Lugazi FC JT vs SC Villa JT – Lugazi Stadium
Lugazi FC JT will be aiming for a response after back-to-back defeats against NEC FC JT and Police FC JT. They face a resilient SC Villa JT side that salvaged a 2-2 draw against Mbale Heroes FC JT in their last outing. The visitors will be banking on Mbalile Mujad and Mugisha Daniel to provide the attacking spark.
Police FC JT vs BUL FC JT – Cavendish, Mukono
Defending champions BUL FC JT have made an emphatic start with two wins from two, including a 2-0 victory over KCCA FC SA.

Mbale Heroes FC JT vs Maroons FC JT – Amus College School
Mbale Heroes FC JT have been competitive so far, securing a draw against SC Villa JT but struggling against BUL FC JT. They will see this as an opportunity to claim their first win. Maroons FC JT, on the other hand, have suffered consecutive defeats and will need to improve defensively if they are to get anything from this fixture.
KCCA FC SA vs NEC FC JT – MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo
One of the standout fixtures of the weekend, as KCCA FC SA seek to bounce back from their 2-0 loss to BUL FC JT. They had previously impressed in their opening-day victory over Maroons FC JT. NEC FC JT, meanwhile, have been grinding out results with narrow 1-0 wins in both their matches. Oula Emmanuel will be the man to watch for the visitors.
