Express FC and Tooro United will face off on Friday afternoon in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League game at Betway Muteesa II stadium in Wankulukuku.
Express currently sit in the upper half on the log in 4th position with 28 points while Tooro occupies the last position on the log with just seven points.
Wasswa Bbosa, who is in charge of the hosts Express has picked up only two wins in his last five games. They will be fighting to get the team back to winning ways after a spell of two consecutive League draws with Solitilo Bright stars.
In the absence of Eric Kenzo Kambale, who is rumored to be joining to an anonymous club anytime, the onus will be on forwards George Senkaba, Joseph Akwadanaho and Godfrey Lwesibawa to look for the desired goals.
The Red Eagles sit just bellow URA FC who lost 1-0 to KCCA FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium on Wednesday.
The visitors Tooro United only managed their second season win on Saturday at home to inconsistent Ondurapaka FC.
Ibrahim Kirya who has just joined this Fort Portal based side helped the team secure a marginal win at home against the Caterpillars through a lone strike by the newly recruited Muhammed Ssenoga.
They lost their coach Edward Golola and a few players who included forwards Marvin Oshaba and skipper Denis Ojara to Police FC and Ondurapaka FC respectively, but brought in a couple of new names and among them was Ssenoga to boast their second round performance.
The Kings’ sons from the west, are first from the bottom of the Log with 7 points hoping to better their points tally to put them in a position where they can’t fight upon relegation in this second round.
