Fresh off a dominant 14-06 victory over Corporate Shooters, Adi’s will look to maintain their momentum at Adi’s Spot and solidify their position at the top end of the table.
Meanwhile, Wakiso, who are currently second last, will be desperate to kickstart their campaign and move out of the relegation zone.
In a bottom-versus-mid-table clash, Nakawa will welcome Club 408 to Platinum Lounge. Nakawa, who are rooted at the bottom of the standings, suffered a heavy 14-06 defeat to Mbale last weekend and will be determined to bounce back.
