Bright Stars form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Bright Stars have to build on here at Kavumba Recreation Center in the Premier League.
It's back home for Bright, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating MYDA away with the result 3-0. Ahead of that match, Bright won a home game hosting Wakiso Giants (3-2).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Bright Stars as they have a new game in only four days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. URA are visiting.
Bright can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 18 times. 13 goals have been conceded.
Express FC form and stats
The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Premier League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League.
Express FC played 1-1 against Mbarara City in their previous match. A 0-0 draw at SC Villa's stadium before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Express manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Vipers.
Express find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Express are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 4 goals away.
Head 2 Head
