Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Wakiso Giants in 9th and Maroons in 10th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Wakiso Giants form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Wakiso Giants have managed 6 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 10 games.
A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Soana.
As mentioned above, Wakiso Giants "killed" MYDA in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Wakiso Giants, as the Premier League home game vs Kyetume is only four days away.
Wakiso Giants are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. 11 goals have been conceded.
Maroons form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Maroons so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Maroons seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Express FC (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) (placed 11th) in their previous outing. The Uganda Cup match ended in a draw 3-3. It was a Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against KCCA wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Express FC (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Jinja SSS in just three days.
Maroons find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Maroons have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
