All four contenders -Kitara, Mbarara City, NEC and Police- for the three promotion slots in the FUFA Big League have been fairly good at home but struggled on their travels.

The top four in the StarTimes FUFA Big League will play their penultimate games at home on Thursday as the league draws closer to completion.

All four contenders for the three promotion slots have been fairly good at home but struggled on their travels.

For that, they may want to make the most out of Thursday’s fixture before making their final gamble away next week.

Kitara leads the table with 52 points and needs just four from their remaining nine to seal their fate.

They host Soroti City who are trapped in the basement with only 27 points after as many games.

Mbarara City welcomes Adjumani Town Council, another side that is battling the chop with only 26 points.

The Ankole Lions are second after Kitara but are tied on 51 points with NEC in third as Police watch from a distance with 47.

NEC will host Lugazi at Bugolobi as Police face Northern Gateway whose fate has already been sealed.
