Express vs Mbarara City: Red Eagles seek to move within top four

Seven-time champions Express have an opportunity to move into the top four of the Premier League if they beat Mbarara City on Thursday under floodlights at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo. The Red Eagles are on 13 points in 8 position and victory will see them move to within four points of table leaders Vipers SC who are not in action until Friday. Badru Kaddu’s men have been inconsistent in terms of wins and have registered just one win in the last five matches.

In Mbarara City managed former Red Eagle Livingstone Mbabazi, they take on a resilient side that lie just two points below. The Ankole Lions ended a two-match losing streak with a deserved win over newcomers Mbale Heroes last week. Victory for the visitors whose last visit to Nakivubo ended in a stalemate with URA will come into the game very confident.
