Coming into the 7th week, 144 goals have been scored in 72 Rwenzori and Elgon group fixtures.
Elgon Group:
Wandegeya F.C, whose start to the 2014/15 season has been so far disappointing will play host to former Super Division side, Busia United at Kiteezi play grounds.
Three points in the bag for the home team will see them skip the relegation zone for the first time this season.
Another former top elite side, Proline Soccer Academy hosts Kabale’s Cream land at Lugogo Stadium.
Kireka United Football club (not in action on Thursday) leads the Elgon group with 13 points, closely followed by Maroons F.C on 12 points.

The Saints F.C lead the Rwenzori log with 15 points, 2 better of second place JMC though the latter have played a game more.
In the other Rwenzori group fixtures, Ndejje University entertains Hope Doves in Luweero, Paidah Black Angels, who won 2 – 3 last week away to CRO hosts Soroti Garage at the Barokoro Zombo play grounds.
CRO, relegated last season from top flight football hosts a determined Kumi United team, one that picked the hard fought away draw to Ndejje University last week.
Promotion:
The best three teams at the close of the season will be promoted to the elite Uganda Premier League with the top two sides per group earning direct promotion.
