Red Eagles In Search For A Second Consecutive Home Victory Of The Season-George Ssimwogerere On Pressure

Match day ten of the 2019/20 Startimes Uganda Premier League season to host a number of games on different grounds with Express-Busoga United encounter on the menu today (Tuesday) at Muteesa 11 stadium Wankulukuku.

Express fc who do expect to build on their 5-3 spectacular previous win at Wankulukuku against Police fc will be hosting tricky Busoga United on the same ground.

On the other hand, Busoga United won their previous game at the Mighty Arena while beating Police fc 2-1, but Express lost to Vipers 3-0 at St. Mary’s stadium Kitende in their match day nine fixture and now both sides are aiming to get positive results in today’s encounter.

The Red Eagles who currently sit 11th on the table with 10 points expect to base on brilliant form of their trio in Frank Kalanda, skipper Dissan Galiwango and Frank Ssenyondo who all share eight goals an eight assists among themselves, though they will still miss the services of their goalkeeper Mathias Muwanga who has a back injury, Emmanuel Baffoe and midfielder Hamdan Nsubuga with knee and heel injuries respectively.

The Bogere Kikomeko coached side Busoga United have a huge task and tricky trip to Wankulukuku where they have not yet picked maximum points from their last three visits and their last visit at Wankulukuku saw them losing by 2-1 in April last season.

Busoga United who are aiming to grab the 4th position on the table if they win today will not have services of their hero against Proline, Isma Kawawulo and Umar Mukobe who are still on suspensions.

However, David Bagoole a.k.a Tongopo is expected to feature for Busoga United for the first time this season and Shafik Kakeeto if granted chances to play.
