Newly appointed Express FC head coach Jimmy Kintu will confront his former employers, Calvary FC, in a highly anticipated Uganda Premier League clash this Thursday at Hamz Stadium in Nakivubo. The match kicks off at 3 PM, marking Kintu's third game in charge since leaving the newly promoted Calvary earlier this season.
Kintu’s tenure at Express has begun with mixed results, managing one draw and one loss so far. This fixture offers a prime opportunity to secure his first victory against a struggling Calvary side, who sit at the bottom of the table with just one point from seven matches—earned in a draw against Maroons.
Despite their opponent’s poor form, Express FC also face their own challenges, having won only once in their last seven league outings—a narrow victory over Mbarara City. Currently 12th in the standings with nine points from eight games, a win could propel them to seventh place.
