Express enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Jinja SSS's place. The match ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Express FC "killed" Jinja SSS in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting UPDF in a game that was won 1-0.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Uganda Cup game versus KCCA in only three days. This game is also played here at Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium.

A 2-7 defeat away at Wakiso Giants before that.Kitara have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 14 goals have been scored. The Kitara defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 37 goals in their away games.
