Wounded Express seek redemption against Kitara

Following defeat to rivals SC Villa, Express return to action with a home game against Kitara on Thursday in the last of the two matches scheduled at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo.

The Red Eagles have started the season slowly with a win and two defeats and face a side desperate to kick start their campaign after drawing their only game played in the league so far against SC Villa.

Express head coach Morley Byekwaso is optimistic of victory especially since his side plays at home but warns of strengths that their opponents have citing the continental exploits.

“We have so far lost two games and won one,” said Byekwaso. “We shall do our best to win the game. Our squad remains same as one that played Villa and I think we will improve in all our set ups and tomorrow’s game will judge us on how the future will be,” he added.

“We can’t forget that we are playing a strong team with experienced players and coach but playing at home, we want to use the advantage and win.”

Kitara come off a decent continental tie in which they eliminated Mogadishu City will be confident as Wasswa Bbosa and a few other players take on former pay masters.

Since 2021, the two teams have met nine times with Kitara edging the contests with five wins [L4].

In the early kick off, UPDF host Maroons with either seeking three points.

Maroons were beaten 2-1 by Blacks Power in their recent outing while UPDF drew goalless with Police.
