Matchday nine of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League (UPL) promises thrilling action with three key fixtures scheduled for Thursday.
KCCA vs NEC – Lugogo Derby Under Floodlights

KCCA, sitting atop the table with 18 points, aim to extend their lead, while NEC, just two points behind on 16, have a chance to claim the top spot with a victory.
The under-the-lights clash is set to be an intense battle, with both sides seeking dominance in this high-stakes encounter.
BUL vs Express – Resurgence on Display
In Lugazi, fourth-placed BUL hosts Express, who are level on 12 points but trail on goal difference. Both teams have shown a resurgence in form and will be eager to maintain momentum.
A win for either side could see them solidify their position in the top four, making this another fixture to watch.
Bright Stars vs Maroons – Building Momentum
At Kavumba, Soltilo Bright Stars take on Maroons in a clash between two sides keen on securing back-to-back victories. Bright Stars, buoyed by their recent win over Kitara, will look to improve their 14th-place standing.
Meanwhile, Maroons, fresh from an impressive victory against URA, are targeting their first consecutive wins of the season to climb further from their current 13th position.
