How We Have Started – BUL FC

It has been a dream start for Alex Isabirye’s charges.

We kicked off the campaign on 30th August with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Express FC at Njeru, before delivering a statement performance away from home on 3rd September, thrashing Kataka FC 4-1 in Bukedea.

That result saw us score the most goals on Matchday 2 and take us to the summit of the table.

Current Table Standing:

BUL FC sits 1st on the log with 6 points from 2 games, 2 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses, with 5 goals scored and 1 conceded.

Our Last Time Out:

Kataka FC 1-4 BUL FC – A dominant display on the road.

How They Have Started – Ntugasaze FC

Our visitors from Mityana are having a tough welcome to top-flight football.

Ntugasaze FC, coached by Pius Ngabo, secured historic promotion to the UPL last season after finishing third in the FUFA Big League, but life in the Premier League has started with back-to-back defeats.

On Matchday 1, they fell 1-0 away to Blacks Power FC in Hoima, with Andrea Noll Ogwal scoring the winner. On Matchday 2, they lost 1-3 at home to Maroons FC at Kira Road Police Arena, despite a goal from Ronald Kaye.

Current Table Standing:

Ntugasaze FC sits 17th on the log with 0 points from 2 games, 0 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses, with 1 goal scored and 4 conceded.

Head To Head

This will be the first-ever top-flight meeting between BUL FC and Ntugasaze FC. There is no previous UPL history between the two sides.
