With the StarTimes Uganda Premier League relegation fight now in its final 9-10 weeks, Bright Stars, Wakiso Giants, Gaddafi, Busoga United and UPDF all find themselves in danger of dropping into the Fufa Big League along with already-relegated Arua Hill.
The Kongolo’s short spell in the top tier came to an end following elimination by the Fufa licensing committee, but who else will join them in being demoted to the Fufa Big League?
BRIGHT STARS FC
Current Position: 11th
Points: 25
Goal Difference: -4
Remaining Fixtures (8): Gaddafi (h), Villa (a), KCCA (h), UPDF (a), NEC (h), Maroons (a), Kitara (h), URA (a)
Joseph Mutyaba’s men have drawn the most matches in the division with 10 stalemates including the last four.
They have the quality to stay up but must ensure they win matches involving their fellow candidates in the drop zone starting with Gaddafi and later with UPDF.
Tough matches against KCCA, title fighting Villa and Kitara as well NEC and URA makes for a tough last eight matches.
WAKISO GIANTS FC
Current Position: 12th
Points: 23
Goal Difference: -11
Remaining fixtures (8): NEC (h), BUL (a), Busoga United (a), Gaddafi (h), Villa (a), Mbarara City (h), KCCA (a), UPDF (h)
The Purple Sharks have quality on paper to stay up but have been very inconsistent.
John Ayala’s men have picked valuable points against big boys – URA, KCCA and Express and on their day, they can beat anyone.
From their run-in, games against Busoga, Gaddafi, UPDF are must wins if they are to extend their stay in the premier league.
GADDAFI FC
Current Position: 13th
Points: 18
Goal Difference: -20
Remaining fixtures (9): Bright Stars (a), KCCA (h), UPDF (a), Villa (h), Wakiso Giants (a), Maroons (h), BUL (a), Express (h), Kitara (a)
If the Jinja army side is to stay up, they have to get maximum points off fellow strugglers – Wakiso Giants, UPDF and Bright Stars otherwise, they have tough matches against title chasing Villa, BUL and Kitara.
BUSOGA UNITED FC
Current Position: 14th
Points: 17
Goal Difference: -19
Remaining fixtures (9): KCCA (a), Villa (h), Maroons (a), Wakiso Giants (h), URA (a), BUL (h), Kitara (a), Vipers (h), Express (a)
They have the toughest fixture amongst all the teams in the relegation mix up with games against title chasing Kitara, BUL, Villa and Vipers SC.
Besides Wakiso Giants, all their opponents are in the top half and it will be a miracle if they manage to beat this drop this season.
UPDF FC
Current Position: 15th
Points: 16
Goal Difference: -15
Remaining fixtures (9): Vipers (a), Gaddafi (h), Mbarara City (a), Bright Stars (h), KCCA (a), Villa (h), Maroons (h), Wakiso Giants (a)
The army side have picked form at the right time with two wins from as many previous outings.
If they are to keep premier league status for at least another season, points off Gaddafi, Bright Stars and Wakiso Giants are a must in this quest.
