As the 2024/25 Uganda Premier League season enters its decisive phase, the relegation battle is no longer a matter of speculation, it’s a full-blown dogfight.

With just five matches to go, the stakes couldn’t be higher for clubs languishing near the bottom of the table.

Mbale Heroes, Bright Stars, and Wakiso Giants find themselves in the most perilous positions, while teams like Mbarara City and Police are still not entirely out of the woods.

Mbale Heroes on the Brink

The writing is all but on the wall for Mbale Heroes. Rooted to the foot of the table with just 10 points from 25 games, their Premier League survival hopes are hanging by the thinnest of threads.

Mathematically, they can still accumulate a maximum of 25 points, but even that slim hope could be extinguished today.

Mbale welcome a solid Maroons side to the Mbale Municipal Stadium, knowing that anything less than a win could confirm their relegation.

If Mbarara City, currently 13th with 23 points, manage to defeat title hopefuls NEC at Kakyeka Stadium, and Mbale fail to pick up three points, the drop will become a reality for the Heroes.

For a club that fought its way back to top-flight football after a couple of decades, such a swift return to the FUFA Big League would be a bitter pill to swallow.

Wakiso Giants & Bright Stars in the Red

Just above Mbale are Wakiso Giants and Soltilo Bright Stars, both struggling for consistency and points.

Wakiso, who travel to face Kitara FC in Hoima today, sit 14th and are in desperate need of a result against a side chasing the Uganda Cup.

Anything less than a win could leave them in deeper trouble, especially if Bright Stars, who host Express FC at Kavumba Recreation Ground, manage to pull off a result.

Bright Stars, once admired, have faltered badly this season and now find themselves teetering on the edge.

Mbarara City and Police Looking to Pull Clear

For Mbarara City, today’s clash against NEC presents both a daunting challenge and a golden opportunity.

A win against the Diehards would not only dent NEC’s title ambitions but also provide much-needed breathing room for the Ankole Lions in their survival quest.

Police FC, meanwhile, have found some rhythm in recent weeks and seem to be edging away from immediate danger, but they’ll be keeping a close eye on results below them.

URA vs SC Villa: A Battle of Ambition

Elsewhere in the league, URA FC, currently fourth on the table, take on defending champions SC Villa under the floodlights at Nakivubo War Memorial Stadium. While Villa’s title defense has faltered, a top-four finish is possible for pride.

URA, on the other hand, will be hoping to maintain pressure in the top positions and finishing as high as they can is a clear ambition.

What’s at Stake

The outcomes of today’s fixtures could go a long way in shaping not just the bottom of the table but also the title race.

With only a handful of games remaining, every point matters, every mistake is magnified, and every win could be the difference between survival and heartbreak.

The relegation battle is no longer a subplot, it’s the main event.
