•BUL Vs NEC – Njeru
•URA vs Maroons – Nakivubo, 8pm
URA FC will be looking to end their winless run and return to winning ways when they host Maroons in a Uganda Premier League clash at Nakivubo Stadium on Tuesday.
The Tax Collectors have gone five matches without victory and head into this fixture on the back of a goalless draw away to UPDF in Bombo.
They will be without Frank Olimi Nyarwa, Hudu Mulikyi, and Bright Vuni, while defender Arthur Kiggundu returns to the squad for the encounter.
First assistant coach Bastu Ssemuyaba, speaking ahead of the match, said the team understands the importance of the fixture and is eager to build momentum ahead of their Uganda Cup semifinal against SC Villa.
URA FC are currently 11th on the 16-team league table with 24 points. Their main targets this season are to avoid relegation and reach the Uganda Cup final.
Visitors Maroons, meanwhile, sit ninth on the table with 33 points and come into the game after a 3-1 victory over Police at Wankulukuku.
However, they will be without Norman Odipio, Derrick Basoga, and Raymond Walugembe, who are all suspended, while defender Emmanuel Obua remains sidelined through injury.
The first-round meeting between the two sides ended in a goalless draw in Luzira, while URA FC claimed a 1-0 win at Nakivubo last season courtesy of a Moses Aliro strike.
