UPDF form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for UPDF so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 3-0-6 (win-draw-lose). UPDF seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for UPDF, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus BUL (placed 9th). Before that, UPDF secured a home win against Kyetume with the score 4-2.

As you can tell from the result, the match against BUL was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

UPDF find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The UPDF manager has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
