Kataka, aiming for promotion, are poised to seize the opportunity to break into the promotion bracket as they host Young Elephant this Saturday at Mbale Municipal Stadium.
Currently sitting in fourth place, just outside the top three promotion spots, a victory could propel them as high as second before second-placed Lugazi and third-placed Mbale Heroes play on Sunday.
Kataka have collected 34 points, three behind town rivals Mbale Heroes in third place.
And there is no room for error for Kataka who are seeking to play in Premier League for the first time.
They come into this fixture on the back of a goalless draw away to Kigezi Homeboyz, and the side will be seeking to return to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Young Elephant finds themselves 12 points away from safety, facing a daunting task to avoid relegation.
Their debut season in the top flight has been far from ideal, plagued by demotivation.
Kataka will rely on their huge home support, having lost only once at home this season against Lugazi, to get the job done.
With an impressive record of 11 points from their last five league games, they are driven by their promotion ambitions.
It’s strong to note that Young Elephant beat Kataka 3-2 in the first round fixture last year in November.
