The StarTimes Uganda Premier League pauses for international duty with over a quarter of the season played.

BUL FC sit top on 23 points with a game in hand and remain unbeaten after ten matches.

The eastern outfit have dropped only four points in draws against Lugazi and Entebbe UPPC.

Strikers Derrick Byabacwezi, Swabir Mpasa, Richard Okello and Alex Kitaata have fired 18 goals between them.

NEC FC share the same tally but trail on head-to-head after a 2-1 loss to the leaders.

KCCA FC have recovered from a poor start to sit four points back with six straight wins.

SC Villa and Entebbe UPPC occupy third and fourth on 21 and 19 points respectively.

Champions Vipers SC languish nine points adrift after defeats to Entebbe UPPC and Mbarara City.

The Venoms have already lost twice in nine matches in arguably their worst start in two decades.

Entebbe UPPC boast six clean sheets but have scored only eleven goals in the top five.

Four clubs have changed coaches with Jimmy Kintu Mwera, Denis Lavagne, Joseph Harlod Mutyaba and Pius Ngabo departing.

Only Sam Ssimbwa at URA has delivered an immediate upturn in results so far.
