After another impressive win on the road in Hoima, we are back at the MTN Omondi Stadium to take on Buhimba who haven’t won a game of football in 15 StarTimes Premier League appearances.
Current Standings as of latest update, 27 games played

| 16 | Buhimba United Saints | 27 | 4 | 3 | 20 | 16 | 58 | -42 | 15 |
We’re sitting pretty in 5th and right in the thick of the top-four race. Buhimba are stuck at the bottom, fighting for survival.
Recent Form
The unbeaten juggernaut!
We are unbeaten in 17 league games and have just put together 10 consecutive clean sheets in the league – that’s 10 shut-outs in a row for our goalkeeper Hannington Ssebwalunyo and the entire backline! We remain unbeaten at home all season; 7 wins, 6 draws in 13 home games, and we haven’t conceded a single goal in our last 5 at the Omondi and 5 away trips.
This is the real rebuild under head coach Kaddu Badru Mukasa, better known as KB – the man who has turned us into a defensive machine and a proper top-flight force.
Buhimba United Saints in freefall:
They’ve gone 15 games without a win, are winless in 12 away games (1W-1D-11L on the road), and have failed to score in their last 4 games. They’ve scored just 16 goals all season while conceding a league-worst 58 in 27 games.
Head-to-Head
We have met only once and the game ended: Buhimba 0-1 NEC courtesy of Innocent Ronal Media goal in the 14′ minute.
Key Stats
- Our home record: 7 wins from 13, 16 goals scored, just 8 conceded – and now riding that monster 10-game clean-sheet streak.
- Buhimba away: Leaking goals left and right 38 conceded in 13 away games and completely blunt up front.
- Low-scoring game on the cards: Our home matches usually stay tight; Buhimba have been kept quiet on the road lately.
We’re in dreamland form; 17 games unbeaten, 10 clean sheets on the bounce, and the fortress MTN Omondi is exactly that right now, all down to the brilliant work of KB in this proper NEC rebuild. Buhimba will probably try to sit deep and nick something, but their toothless attack, 15-game winless run and nightmare away record give them almost zero chance of breaking our wall. Hannington Ssebwalunyo and the lads at the back are simply untouchable at the moment.
Team News
As one of our own, tomorrow night at Lugogo feels like another big one coming. The boys are in the groove, the coach has us organised, and the fans are going to be loud. Let’s get the three points and keep this momentum going.
