Only a win will satisfy the URA supporters in this Ndejje Uni - Luwero clash with Police, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Premier League table.
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.
URA form and stats
URA have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-1 (wins-draws-losses). URA has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Ndejje Uni - Luwero. We remember; it was Express FC.
It's back home for URA, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Express FC away with the result 2-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vipers in a game that was won 3-1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for URA, as the Uganda Cup home game vs Wakiso Giants is only three days away.
URA are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. URA have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals.
Police form and stats
Police have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-1-8 (12 played). With the Police losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Police are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Police aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 181 league minutes without a goal. H. Kaweesa was the last player to find the net.
Home advantage was not enough for Police in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting KCCA, 0-1. A 0-2 defeat away at Soana before that.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Police have scored 13 goals in 12 league games away. In the opposite end, Police have conceded 22 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Police - URA 0-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): URA two wins, one draw and Police zero victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.URA missing players
