Following their impressive 1-0 win over champions Vipers on match day one, Entebbe UPPC host UPDF in their first home game at their new home, Hamz stadium, Nakivubo on Tuesday.
The Printers were superb in that victory at Kitende but face a different opposition in UPDF who are tutored by Hussein Mbalangu.
Mbalangu has already warned that any team that plays them at Nakivubo must be ready to suffer.
“We want to make this home (Nakivubo) a fortress,” said Mbalangu before the army lads drew goalless with newly promoted Kataka on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Abdallah Mubiru says his side must now shift focus from the Vipers game and plan for future matches starting with UPDF.
“We started well with a win against Vipers. That is now behind us and focus is on the next opponent,” said Mubiru. “Three points is the target in every game because that is what each game carries.
“We expect a competitive game against UPDF but we want to play well and get the desired result which is a win.”
UPPC are bolstered by the availability of their top scorer last season; Ambrose Kigozi, midfielder Isa Bugembe who was named in the UPL team of the season and winger Swadik Moro.
