Bright Stars Vs Express – Matugga (4:30 p.m)
Following a relatively average start to the season, unbeaten Express Football Club travels to Matugga for a date against Bright Stars in the Uganda Premier League on Tuesday.
Wasswa Bbosa’s side lead the 16 team log with 8 points from the opening four games.
Coming from the Wankulukuku derby victory over Lweza last week, Express Football Club targets maximum points at an intimidating ground where already one giant – Sports Club Villa has fallen.
The red army also boosts of the league top scorer, Samson Ceaser Okhuti, whose impressive outings in the four games so far was rewarded by the national team recall for the CHAN Quaifiers.
Tonny Odur, Rogers Lukwiya, Eric Ssebuguzi, Vincent Kayizzi Walugembe and Sulaiman Mutyaba are the five potent players that will back up Okhuti in the team’s quest for glory away from home.
Enter Bright Stars F.C, the team missed the services of their head coach, Fred Kajoba during the one all home draw last Tuesday.
Kajoba was still in Comoros with the national team that won 1-0 away in the AFCON 2017 qualifiers.
His presence back on the bench means a great deal for the club currently seated 8th on the table standings.
Anthony Bongole is the main target for goals at a time the club looks upon a second natural striker.
New boys, Lawrence Bajja (from Entebbe) and former KCCA F.C’s Baker Lukooya are raw deals to create havoc to any opposition on a great day at office.
Midfield gem, Jimmy Kibirige Lule, young brother to KCCA F.C’s Owen Kasule is expected to play a major role in the team’s creative and defensive department alongside another Jimmy entity in the hard tackling Kakooza.
CHAN player, Mathias Kigonya, scorer of the team’s goal last week targets a clean sheet in between the goal posts.
The match will be handled by referee William Oloya.
