Ugandan football heavyweights Express FC and URA FC enter Wednesday's midweek fixtures desperate to resurrect their faltering Premier League campaigns. The historic clubs face crucial away tests against Maroons FC and Mbarara City FC respectively, with both matches kicking off at 4pm.
Red Eagles Seek Redemption
Express FC arrives at Luzira's Maroons Stadium reeling from a shock 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Entebbe UPPC. Reports suggest internal disputes over player payments contributed to their delayed arrival and poor performance in that match. The seven-time champions now face Maroons FC, with both teams locked on 12 points - making this a decisive battle for league positioning.
URA's Survival Battle
Meanwhile, URA FC travels to Kamwenge's Rwamwanja Stadium confronting their worst-ever league start. With just two wins and 11 points from 10 games, the tax collectors risk further embarrassment against bottom-half Mbarara City, who've managed only seven points this season.
"This match could define our season," a URA club official told Kawowo Sports. "We must show our true quality."
