Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>There\u2019s an almighty battle involving four teams that will go down this evening in the Fufa Big League as the curtains come down for the 2021\/22 season. Despite the fact that there are no playoffs this year after the league merging into one, nothing is decided yet but one thing is certain; there will be tears of joy and regrets as well!<\/p>\n

Promotion race<\/p>\n

Since the second round of the season, four teams \u2013 Kataka, Blacks Power, Maroons and Kyetume – turned the race into a mini-league of their own.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a unique and very tough race with four teams playing at the same level throughout,\u201d said Maroons striker Fred Amaku, who is second on the scoring charts with 14 goals. Kataka and Blacks Powers highlight the nature of the competition at the top this season; both tied on 36 points, same number of wins (10), same number of draws (6), same number of losses (3) and a similar goal difference (+16) but the Mbale side sit top because they\u2019ve scored 33, one more than Powers!<\/p>\n

In fact, all the four have won 10 games each. However, only three teams can be accommodated in the elevator to the topflight by close of business today and therefore one will remain with lessons to learn from their wasted chances.<\/p>\n

Blacks Power must use home advantage to subdue Luweero United or at least pick a draw, Maroons must win against already-relegated Nyamityobora to be sure while Kyetume heads to Mbale for the grand battle.<\/p>\n

The fixture in Mbale brings together the second best league\u2019s defence up against the best attacking forward line.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be very tough one but we have a plan. Their strength is in scoring goals but also have weak points like conceding a lot as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do score and have a good defence that should be able to get the job done,\u201d Kataka\u2019s head coach Godfrey \u2018Toldo\u2019 Awachango said ahead of the six-pointer.<\/p>\n

Kataka has conceded 17, only Blacks Power with 16 has conceded fewer but face a Kyetume side whose lead strikers Ezra Kaye and Ezra Bida have combined for 24 goals this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is quite straightforward; we go there and push them to the wall, get the goals and we\u2019re through!<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will be a hard nut to crack but we have no options than to push ourselves to the limit,\u201d said Kaye (15 goals).<\/p>\n

According to the local soccer governing body – Fufa, the champions will either be crowned today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Relegation scrap<\/p>\n

Like it is at the top, so it is at the bottom as one of the four teams involved in the relegation battle will join Myda and Nyamityobora down to the third tier.<\/p>\n

Ndejje University with 23 points temporarily occupy the final relegation place but only three points separate them with Calvary in sixth.<\/p>\n

Luweero United and Proline are sandwiched in between the struggle both on 25 points with the former on top due to a better goal difference.<\/p>\n

Of the three, Proline is the most underprivileged because of the nature of this year\u2019s tournament, they have completed their fixtures and can only pray their opponents falter.<\/p>\n

Ndejje need nothing short of a victory over Kitara in Ndejje, Calvary will be assured of safety with at least a draw against Myda in Arua and if those two permutations stand as they\u2019ve been spelt, Luweero United can only go down if they lose by a margin of four goals!<\/p>\n
