UPDF FC VS BUSOGA UNITED.
UPDF will host Busoga in search of their first win of the season at the Bombo Military Grounds on Wednesday.
The Army men who have not won a game in this campaign drawing their first at home 1-1 with Express FC and losing their second 3-1 away to BUL FC.
They will hope that their home support can be as loud as possible in order to collect their first win of the campaign.
They will also rely on their positive home record against Busoga United having beaten the visitors thrice on four occasions.
On the other side, Paul Kiwanuka’s charges of Busoga United, will hope to keep their momentum after 2-0 win at home against new League entrants Blacks Power.
Busoga United’s starting line-up against Blacks Power.
Busoga’s goals were scored by former Express midfielder Ibrahim Kayiwa and Franco Balabala through a penalty.

Busoga United Head Coach Paul Kiwanuka came out to say that his team will be cautious not to concede;
We are going to play away, we shall be cautious not to conceed goals but to make sure that we try our best to see that we get maximum points.
My expectation is to atleast get a positive result, not to lose away from home because we need a point to start the season well because each point you lose is vital and crucial, so we want to see that we maintain the points that we have see that we get the extra two points.
What would a win do?
Since we are in the midst of the Match day, it’s hard to start talking about positions on the Log but a win for UDPF FC will take them to four points while a win for Busoga will take to 6 points.
