BUL have their focus on the Uganda Premier League table summit now as they host another giant Express on Saturday.
The Jinja based side come into the game with renewed energy after overcoming poor form that saw them lose top spot that they held on for almost all the first round.
Their recent shows in drawing away to Kitara and beating Wakiso Giants as well as eliminating KCCA from the Uganda Cup gives them hope and motivating coming into the clash with bogey side Express FC.
Currently placed 3rd with 43 points, a win will see them overtake new table leaders Vipers by a single point although they would have played one more game than the Venoms.
Express come into the match with belief after ending a winless streak by beating URA last time out and also have a good record against Abbey Kikomeko’s side.
The Red Eagles are unbeaten against BUL in over seven encounters in all competitions bar a penalty shootout earlier in the Uganda Cup this season.
The reverse fixture in the first round in a 1-1 draw despite BUL playing the game with 9-men for match of the time after red cards to Walter Ochora and Ben Tahomera.
