NEC FC continues their impressive 2026 run as they host struggling UPDF at the MTN Omondi Stadium. NEC is currently unbeaten this calendar year and has already gotten the better of UPDF twice this season, including a 2-0 win in the Uganda Cup. Their defensive discipline has been key, often keeping clean sheets against teams in the lower half of the table.

UPDF is currently mired in a relegation battle, sitting second from bottom. Their away record is particularly concerning, having failed to score in several recent outings. The head-to-head history favors NEC FC, who have won three of the last six meetings, while the remaining three ended in draws. Given UPDF’s current lack of form and NEC’s upward momentum, the stats strongly point toward a comfortable home result.
