The Azam Uganda Premier league returns on Tuesday,October 18, with four matches on the cards.

At Bombo barracks, The Saints FC head coach Moses Basena takes on his old pay URA FC after a 2-1 loss to SC Villa last week.

URA got their second win of the season after beating Onduparaka FC 3-1 at home in their previous outing.

Saints are ninth on the log with eleven points from nine games while URA are seventh with twelve points from nine matches.

At Bugembe stadium, Sadolin Paints welcome Proline FC in a highly anticipated encounter.

The home side missed out on a chance to take maximum points in their previous match against Lweza FC, conceding a late equaliser from Kikoyo Hassan at Wankulukuku stadium.

Proline FC on the other hand will be looking to get maximum points after picking one against Vipers SC in a 2-2 in the last league match.

Defender Mukiisa Yusuf returns to the fold for Proline after missing the last two matches.

Sadolin are twelveth on the log with nine points from eight matches while Proline FC are eleventh with ten points from nine matches.

At Nakivubo stadium, former champions Vipers Sports Club will be aiming at reducing the gap with leaders KCCA FC and a win against Kirinnya Jinja SS will take them to 19 points, same as KCCA FC who host Police FC on Friday.

School boys, Kurinya, under the services of Alex Isabirye are still looking for their maiden win in the top flight league.

Vipers SC are placed second with 16 points, following 2-2 draw with Proline FC last week.

Kirinnya Jinja SS are 13th on the log following their controversial draw with defending champions KCCA FC with 7 points from nine matches.

At Betway Green Light Stadium, home side Onduparaka FC will be looking at returning to winning ways, while at the same time keeping their home unbeaten run, against bottom side JMC Hippos after falling to URA FC 3-1 at Lugazi Mehta stadium previously.

JMC hippos who are yet to realise a win will be aiming at picking at least a point.

Their last league match was a 1-0 loss to Soana FC at home.

Onduparaka, fondly referred to as the Catapillers are eighth in the league standings with 12 points from eight games while the Hippos are first from bottom with just two points from nine fixtures.
