Express vs Maroons – 7pm

URA vs Mbarara – 4pm

After a humiliating defeat at Vipers, Express return to action with a home clash against Maroons aiming to bounce back.

The Red Eagles take on the Prison Warders at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo under floodlights in the second of the two league matches on the day.

Coach Baker Mbowa is aware that failure to pick all points will deter his side’s aim of being amongst the competitors for the league.

He will rely on striker Sam Ssenyonjo, Alpha Ssali and John Asiimwe to unlock the visitors’ backline commanded by Apollo Kagogwe.

For Maroons, a slow start to the season after a draw and defeat versus UPDF and Wakiso Giants respectively means they must beat the Red Eagles.

With a single point so far, they occupy a slot in the relegation zone and need to start picking points.

Former Express youngster Ivan Mayanja, veteran forward Solomon Walusimbi, Ronald Orombi and Jackson Nunda must bring their A game to the fore if they are to leave Nakivubo with a decent result.

Key Stats:

Express have won 5 of the last 12 league meetings since 2015 [L3, D4]

However, Maroons won both encounters last season without conceding a goal.

In the other game on the day Nakivubo, URA will host Mbarara City.
