Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Fufa Big League table leaders Blacks Power are under pressure after slipping to a 2-0 defeat to Ndejje University last week.<\/p>\n

The result cut their margin with Kyetume in fourth place to just three points meaning that any blips coupled with favourable result for their opponent will push them outside the promotional spots bracket.<\/p>\n

Maroons step on the peddle, Kataka show determination<\/p>\n

Today, the Lira side face another stern test as they host second-placed Maroons, who at 26 points, trail the leaders by only a point.<\/p>\n

Their head coach Vialli Bainomugisha is confident they can pick results in the remaining games but has warned his players against complacency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were destabilised after conceding an early penalty against Ndejje [University] but we also failed to use our chances,\u201d Bainomugisha explains the Sunday loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we cannot afford further slip-ups because it will put us in a difficult situation. We have to bounce back against Maroons and remain focussed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Maroons, on the other side have promised to take the game to the table leaders as they aim to leap to the summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be tough because they\u2019re the leaders and are at home but we have what it takes to pull something out of there. We have to take the game to them,\u201d Maroons head Coach Patrick Senfuma said ahead of the game.<\/p>\n
