Relegation threatened Wakiso Giants and Mbarara City face off at the Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium on Tuesday with each having one mission – survival.
The hosts come into the game occupying the red zone with 20 points, three behind Mbarara City who sit in the last safe position on the 16-team log.
The fixture will go a long way in determining which of the two sides go down alongside Mbale Heroes and probably Soltilo Bright Stars who are in the bottom two.
Wakiso Giants must win to overtake the Ankole Lions on head-to-head stats having drawn the first-round fixture goalless at Kakyeeka.
Coming into this fixture, Mbarara City have parted ways with head coach Livingstone Mbabazi, formerly at Wakiso Giants and they haven’t named a replacement which leaves Zaid Byekwaso in charge.
