NEC target top spot as they host Struggling UPDF at Lugogo
NEC have their eyes firmly set on the summit of the league table as they prepare to host UPDF FC in a highly anticipated clash at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo this Tuesday afternoon.
The Bugolobi-based giants enter Matchday ten brimming with confidence, determined to extend their flawless unbeaten streak against the army side. Across their six previous competitive meetings, NEC have historically dominated the fixture, registering three wins and three stalemates against their military rivals.
NEC currently sit third on the league log with 20 points, agonizingly close to the peak. They trail table-leaders SC Villa by just a single point.
With SC Villa facing a highly unpredictable, tricky away fixture against BUL FC at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru at the exact same time, a victory for NEC at Lugogo could catapult them to the top of the 18-team table, provided the battle in Njeru ends in a draw.
