The two teams were held on day one with the Red Eagles throwing away a goal lead in a 1-1 draw with UPDF while URA fired blanks against visiting Onduparaka at Nakisunga.
“It’s going to be a tough game since both sides are searching for a first win this season,” Odoch told the club media.
“We’ve corrected our mistakes from the last game and we are looking forward to earning maximum points.”
It was almost same sentiments echoed by the veteran Timbe who underlined the importance of every game.
“We have corrected the mistakes made by players in the last game. The mood is good and all we want is success for the game,” he stated.
“The players are aware of the importance of each game and not just the one tomorrow and shall all do all it takes to achieve success.”
Acquaintances to be renewed
