Express FC are welcoming Soana for another important game after their 3-3 result against 10th-placed Maroons (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties).

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Express FC form and stats

Express FC's results here in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Express FC drew their last game, also a home match. Maroons (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (placed 10th) was the opponent, 3-3 the score. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Onduparaka with a 1-0 scoreline.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to KCCA in only three days.

The Express FC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
