Express v Paidha (Wankulukuku, 4:00)

Kirinya  v Bright Stars (The Mighty Arena, 4:30)  

Express will be in search of its first home win in the Uganda Premier League under coach George Ssimwogerere when they host basement side Paidha Black Angels.

Ssimwogerere's only wins at Wankulukuku came in the Uganda Cup against BUL and Police and this is something he wants to remedy when they face Paidha who are battling relegation.

This is one of the games that can sink Paidha or boost their chances of remaining in the top flight.

Express who are hoping to make amends for the 1-0 loss suffered at the hands of URA last week will be without their first choice goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga who is recovering from a dislocated toe.

Badru Nsubuga, Mubarak Nsubuga and Eric Kambale who returned to training recently, are likely to be considered for today's tie.

The Red Eagles who edged Paidha 3-1 in the reverse fixture at the Green Light Stadium in Arua are 11th with 29 points, 17 more than Paidha.

Paidha's disappointing season has seen three managerial appointments. Anthony Ssekitto who is the new caretaker coach was appointed last week and will be in charge of his first game.

The tactician formerly at Wembley FC, Kitara and Amuka Bright Stars, will take charge until the end of the season.

Elsewhere, Kirinya Jinja will be hosting Bright Stars at the Mighty Arena with the Jinja side who went suffered a 2-0 reverse against KCCA in its last match keen to return to winning ways.
