An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Maroons and Express FC experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 11th place.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Maroons form and stats
Maroons, who have the most conceded goals (40) in Premier League, have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-5 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Maroons with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Soana game, 33 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
D. Ndihabwe was the last player to score a league goal for Maroons and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Maroons haven't scored in 204 minutes.
Maroons lost their last game at Vipers (placed 1st) after a 0-5 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Jinja SSS with the scoreline 0-1.
As you see from the result above, Maroons suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Maroons has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. Maroons have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Express FC have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Express FC have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
