Express FC Recent Form

Express FC enter this clash in inconsistent shape, with just one win in their last five outings (W1 D1 L3). Their most recent league matches show defensive vulnerability and a lack of goals:

• Sep 09 (away) vs SC Villa — lost 0-2
• Sep 03 (home) vs KCCA — won 2-0
• Aug 30 (away) vs Bul FC — lost 0-1
• May 23 (away) vs Vipers SC — lost 0-2
• May 19 (home) vs Lugazi Municipal — drew 0-0

At home in the league this season they have played just one match — a2-0 win over KCCA — but that narrow sample offers little comfort against a side on a strong away run.

• Sep 06 (away) vs Mogadishu City — won 2-1 (CAF)
• Aug 29 (away) vs SC Villa — drew 1-1 (Premier League)
• Aug 02 (home) vs Entebbe — drew 0-0 (Premier League)
• May 30 (home) vs SC Villa — won 2-1 (Uganda Cup)
