The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as UPDF have lost on their last two travels.

UPDF played 0-0 against KCCA in their previous match.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far UPDF have scored 14 goals in 12 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The UPDF manager has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
