She Corporate FC face a stern test in their pursuit of the Finance Trust Bank FUFA Women Super League title as they host St Noa on Saturday morning at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.

In what is a must-win fixture for the table leaders, She Corporate take on a resilient St Noa side capable of troubling any team in the league.

She Corporate come into this game on the back of a crucial 1-0 away victory over Olila, while St Noa registered an emphatic 4-0 win against Asubo Ladies in their most recent outing.

In the first-round meeting, Moureen Nankinga scored the decisive goal as She Corporate edged St Noa in Wankulukuku.

This season, no team has managed to defeat St Noa both home and away. Should She Corporate achieve this, they will become the first side to do so.

With three matches remaining until the end of the season, She Corporate know they must win all their remaining fixtures to secure the title, regardless of Kawempe’s results.

She Corporate have been in impressive form, winning 11 and losing just one of their last 12 matches, while also keeping 11 clean sheets this season.

St Noa, in their debut top-flight campaign, are on course for a strong finish and could end the season in third place if they win their remaining five matches.

Striker Jesca Namanda is the league’s top scorer with 14 goals and will be aiming to extend her lead in the race for the Golden Boot, while also boosting her chances of individual accolades such as Player of the Season.

Moureen Nankinga and Rebecca Nakato are also expected to provide attacking support alongside Namanda as She Corporate seek another vital victory.

St Noa boast a youthful and well-coached squad capable of competing at a high level, with key players including Marion Serenge, Patricia Nayiga, and the experienced Docus Lwalisa.

A win on Saturday would keep She Corporate at the top of the table with 50 points. Meanwhile, St Noa could move into fourth place with 30 points, depending on the outcome of Uganda Martyrs’ match against She Maroons.
