The StarTimes Uganda Premier League has intensified following the matchday results from the previous two match rounds.
Vipers, after dropping four points in the draws at home to Kitara and away to SC Villa, have invited other contenders into the race.
The champions now lead the table by four points, and the difference between them and fourth-placed SC Villa is now only seven points with 21 points to play for.
As it stands [TOP FOUR]
| Pos | Team | MP | Win | Draw | Loss | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
| 1 | Vipers | 23 | 15 | 7 | 1 | 43 | 15 | 28 | 52 |
| 2 | KCCA | 23 | 15 | 3 | 5 | 35 | 18 | 17 | 48 |
| 3 | Kitara | 23 | 14 | 5 | 4 | 34 | 14 | 20 | 47 |

What are the remaining fixtures?
There are seven Premier League matches remaining, with those involving the four title contenders still in.
KCCA will host Vipers, and Kitara will host SC Villa, matches that could be strongly decisive in the race.
In the remaining matches, Vipers face three sides in the top seven in Entebbe UPPC, KCCA and Police, one in the bottom two in Buhimba United Saints.
Second-placed KCCA has relatively easier fixtures if their league positions are considered with only Vipers and Entebbe UPPC in the top five.
Kitara has the most home matches, four, with the rest having three and face only Villa and NEC in the top six.
Villa’s tough run-in includes matches away to Kitara, relegation-fighting Mbarara City and Lugazi away as well as a tough match against BUL at home.
Top Four’s remaining fixtures
| Match week | VIPERS | KCCA | KITARA | SC VILLA |
| 24 | Buhimba (A) | Ebb UPPC (A) | Calvary (H) | Lugazi (A) |
| 25 | Ebb UPPC (H) | Calvary (A) | Lugazi (A) | Buhimba (H) |
| 26 | KCCA (A) | Vipers (H) | SC Villa (H) | Kitara (A) |
| 27 | URA (H) | Maroons (H) | NEC (H) | BUL (H) |

Impact of other competitions
At the moment, three of the four teams remaining in the title race are also in the semifinal of the Uganda Cup.
Prior to matchday 22, all four were in action in the quarterfinal of the competition, but at the moment, KCCA is out.
Vipers, Kitara and Villa will have to navigate two ties in the semi-finals in between league matches, and this could have an impact.
And those who will qualify for the final will have an extra game in the season. Squeaky bum time it is!

- MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo 8pm
NEC host Maroons at the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo in the only game of the day aiming to extend their dominance in the tie.
The two neighbours seal match day 23 with the hosts enjoying a decent streak as they are now unbeaten in fifteen matches in all competitions.
Besides, they go into the game full on confidence as they have never lost a game to the Prison Warders.
In the five premier league meetings, NEC have won four and drawn once, this season’s clash at Luzira which ended in a 1-1 draw with Marvin Kavuma netting for NEC and Ivan Asaba for Maroons.
A win for Badru Kaddu’s Bugolobi based side will see them replace Police in 6th position while Maroons will overtake BUL in 8th position with maximum points.

When the Walukuba Barbarians host the Makerere Impis on Saturday, the target is simple: to seal their stay in the Top 8.
Ever since the Uganda Rugby top league was restructured to the current championship format, the Barbarians have consistently finished in the Top 8 of the regular season, booking a playoff spot.
With 4 games to go, the Barbarians sit 7th on the log, and the very next game against Impis is a must-win if they do not want to drop to the relegation playoff bracket.
The Barbarians have mastered the art of picking up losing bonus points, securing 4 from the 7 games they’ve played so far. Come this Saturday, a losing bonus point won’t be enough. The Barbarians have to win, and with a bonus point, as their remaining regular season games shall be against the traditional top three sides, KOBs, Heathens and Pirates in that order.
On the other hand, the Impis are equally intent on staying in the Top 8, a reasonable target for a recently promoted side. They travel to Jinja, a city where they’ve already collected a win this season against the Hippos, which is a positive sign for a young side that has registered two of its three losses on the road against the Mongers and Pirates.
Both teams are on 18 points, and went into the break after coming off wins against two troubled sides in the Rhinos and Kakira Simbas.
This game will likely change the tides for both sides as the Barbarians follow up with herculean tasks, while the Impis remain with winnable games after Saturday’s encounter.
