Uganda Premier League | Fixture

• Police vs Bright Stars - 4 PM
• NEC vs UPDF - 7 PM

Police and Bright Stars lock horns in the Uganda Premier League at Kavumba Recreation Ground in Wakiso on Tuesday.

The two sides will be out seeking to get off the mark after failing to reach the mark in the two league games played thus far.

The Cops have picked two barren draws against BUL and Mbarara City while Bright Stars were held by Wakiso Giants in a 1-1 draw before falling to URA in a 1-0 loss.

Police head coach Peter Mugerwa has admitted that they lacked the spark in front of the goal, though he added that they have worked on it to improve.

"In the past two games, we have done well in the other areas but failed to score," Mugerwa noted.

"Against BUL, one of the most in-form sides, we held them despite playing over 65 minutes with a man less and also away to Mbarara," he added.

"This week, our preparations have centred around working on the final third and hope to get the goals against Bright Stars."

In the same breath, Bright Stars head coach Joseph Mutyaba expects a tough challenge from the Cops.

"Police are a tough side to break down, but if we convert the chances we create, then we shall win," he stated.

Team News

The Cops will miss the services of Gerald Ogweti, who is still serving his red card suspension.

For Bright Stars, Cleophus Fiat and David Kizza returned to training but will need late fitness tests to be part of today's clash.
