Today represents one of the most important days of the Uganda Premier League season so far. Six-time champions Express FC host the reigning Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC at 4 pm at the Kabaka Kyabagu Stadium in Wakiso.

 

The champions who are still recovering from the humiliating of 4-1 defeat to Algerian side Paradou AC in the CAF Confederations Cup return to action with the aim of defending their title.

 

KCCA head coach Mike Mutebi anticipates a tight game basing on the rich history between the clubs.

 "KCCA FC against Express FC is a derby, and you know what happens in a derby.No one is bigger than the other. It is always the most well-organised team that takes the day," Mutebi reasoned.

 

He said the return of three of his key players who missed the clash with Police clash was a big boost for his side.

 

"They were not missed because like I always say, every player at the club is good. Those who played did a good job, but Mustafa Kizza, John Revita and Muziramu Mutyaba are starters, so their return is a big boost in some way," Mutebi said.

 George Ssimwogerere, the Express FC coach will rely on the front three, Frank Kalanda, Frank Ssenyondo and Captain Disan Galiwango for goals.

 

Express is unbeaten in the last two premier league games.
