A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both URA and Express FC know what's at stake in this second leg of the Uganda Cup 8th Finals clash.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for URA and Express FC.

This match is a Uganda Cup match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in this competition. Ever since the Wakiso Giants game URA has been unbeatable here producing six straight wins.

URA lost their last game at Express FC after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that, URA had a Premier League home game versus Mbarara City which ended with a victory 2-0.
The match schedule is unforgiving for URA as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Onduparaka are visiting.
