The humble gaffer will be desperate with victory but must be aware that the Red Eagles lost their two league meetings against Lugazi last season.

Both teams head into tie with confidence after dispatching their opponents in the last outings with Lugazi humiliating Buhimba United Saints 5-2 while Express beat Mbarara City 4-1 at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo.

They are all tied on eight points after six matches with the Red Eagles slightly above in 7th position due to superior goal difference.

Lugazi are slightly below in 9th position and the winner could climb into top four.

Elsewhere, SC Villa host NEC at Fufa stadium, Kadiba in a late kick off while Kitara and BUL lock horns at Royal Park Butema.
