Defending champions Uganda Martyrs University will be keen on extending their invincible start to this season's Pepsi University Football League when they play host to Kabale University at Nkozi on Friday.
The Martyrs needed a late goal to beat University of Kisubi 2-1 away, last time out, while Kabale University suffered a 6-0 humbling at the hands of Bugema University.
Uganda Martyrs now lead Group A proceedings as the only team with a 100% record, and they will fancy their chances of extending their winning streak on Friday, considering their impressive home form.
Conversely, Kabale head coach Farouk Nsubuga has yet to kick into gears but will fight ahead of a tie with one of the league's heavyweights.

"Uganda Martyrs seems to have the speed, and if I may say, when you play against the Saints, you need to close the highway, and that's what we have prepared to do," added Nsubuga.
