The StarTimes Uganda Premier League braces for a pivotal penultimate round, where the fate of several clubs hangs in the balance, with five thrilling matches slated for Tuesday across various venues.
At Kakyeeka Stadium, table-toppers BUL find themselves in a must-win situation to maintain their position at the summit. With 52 points to their name, the Jinja-based outfit eyes not just victory but also the league title, should their competitors stumble elsewhere.
