Both Kirinya Jinja SS and Proline won promotion to the Azam Uganda Premier League this season and have had a torrid start to the season languishing in the relegation zone.
Kirinya Jinja SS come into this game without head coach Alex Isabirye who decided to throw in the towel on Monday following the dismal performance by team.
Kirinya are second from bottom on 9 points and yet to win a game. Their main challenge has been scoring, managing just a meager 4 goals in as many games.
They take on Proline who equally have had similar struggles picking just a single win thus far coming against lowly JMC Hippos.
Proline’s major concern has been their defence that have shipped in 19 goals and keeping just two clean sheets in 13 games.
