We Aim to Maintain Top Spot with a win at Hamz’s Stadium – Nakivubo.
As the StarTimes Uganda Premier League football community turns its eyes towards Hamza’s Stadium Nakivubo this Thursday, 5th December 2024, NEC FC is poised to face URA FC in what promises to be a gripping clash.
For us, the narrative is clear – a win here is pivotal in maintaining our position at the summit of the table.
Season’s Storyline:
We have crafted an impressive narrative this season, with their 22 points from 10 games painting a picture of a team in fine fettle. Seven wins, with just a solitary draw and two losses, underlining the ambition and our status as early title contenders with this being solidified by back to back wins against reigning champions SC Villa coming from a big win against legendary KCCA.
Our attack has been nothing short of clinical, netting 14 goals, illustrating a blend of strategy and skill that has seen us keep four clean sheets – evidence of what Coach Mbalangu has always emphasised was a big challenge last season.URA FC, while also having played 10 games, sits 8th with 14 points.
Their season has been one of battles, with four wins, four losses, and two draws. Their defensive resilience is evident, having kept five clean sheets, yet their attack has not been as consistent, failing to score in four matches. This inconsistency might be the Achilles’ heel that NEC could exploit.
Key Battles:
The match will hinge on several key battles. Our forwards, who have been in fine form, will look to continue their scoring spree, particularly against a URA side that has shown vulnerability in front of their own goal. On the other hand, URA’s defenders, will need to be at their best to contain NEC’s potent attack.
