Express FC embark on a crucial journey to the lakeside this Thursday as they square off with Entebbe UPPC at the Bugonga Fisheries Ground, eager to clinch their elusive first away victory of the campaign.
The Red Eagles have endured a mixed spell on their travels – four fixtures, three stalemates and a single loss, but they arrive in Entebbe buoyed by a three-match unbeaten run.
Despite their resilience, goal scoring has been their biggest hurdle, having fired blanks in their previous two away duels against BUL and Lugazi.
However, they will look at this fixture as a realistic opportunity to turn the tide.
Hosts Entebbe UPPC have struggled to impose themselves at home, collecting just six points from a possible 15.
Their recent form at Bugonga has been worrisome, losing back-to-back matches in front of their fans. Ironically, their performances away from home have been far more convincing, going unbeaten in four straight outings.
Sitting sixth on the log with 14 points, the Printers will bank on the creativity and craft of Hassan Ssenyonjo, the dynamism of Ambrose Kigozi and the industry of Steven Munguchi to steady their home form.
For Express, the attacking trio of Richard Basangwa, Muhammad Ssenoga and Rashid Kawawa will be expected to rise to the occasion and deliver the firepower the team has lately lacked.
In the day’s late kick-off, record champions SC Villa will host URA FC under the Kadiba lights at the FUFA Stadium in an equally intriguing clash.
