*Calvary Vs BUL – Midigo
*Kitara Vs UPDF – Hoima
*NEC Vs Lugazi – Lugogo, 8pm
Alex Isabirye is set for his first hurdle as BUL FC coach as the side take on Calvary FC away to Midigo in Yumbe in a Uganda Premier League encounter.
Isabirye was confirmed as BUL head coach last month, replacing Abbey Bogere Kikomeko who was sacked after a string of poor results.
This is Isabirye’s third stint at the Eastern giants, with his first coming between 2015 and 2016.
The current term, Isabirye finds the club devoid of confidence due to five-game losing streak, seated 13th with 10 points after 11 games in the league.
“It will not be an easy game, they are a side struggling as they sit bottom of the table so they will want to put up a show,” Isabirye, recently sacked by URA, commented ahead of the clash.
“But we are also not in a better position, this is not where we want to be, and we want to post good results.
“We are away from home, but we are building a team that want to be one of the strongest teams in the country and we are ready for such challenges.”
BUL will be without left back Nicholas Mwere with the towering defender not part of the travelling contingent due to Malaria.
Calvary are bottom of the table with three points, without a win and have only recorded three draws against Maroons, Mbarara City and Vipers in the 11 matches.
