Express FC travel to Kira Police Arena in Kamwokya on Saturday to face Ntugasaze FC desperate for a first win since match day two.

The Red Eagles have collected only seven points from eight matches and sit top of the relegation zone after a solitary 2-0 victory over KCCA FC.

They have lost two and drawn four since that early win including a stalemate against Kataka FC at Nakivubo in their last outing.

Ntugasaze FC occupy second-from-bottom with just three points and also need maximum points to boost survival hopes.

At Mutesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku Maroons FC host Kigezi Home Boyz who remain winless in the top flight.

Maroons FC arrive unbeaten in four matches with two wins and two draws after a goalless draw with Entebbe UPPC FC.

Kigezi Home Boyz managed by former Express FC winger and coach Kefa Kisala have a single point from a draw with KCCA FC on match day three.

The argument doing the rounds in Kampala is whether Express FC can finally convert possession into goals after five games without a win.

Key fixtures this weekend:

  • Ntugasaze FC vs Express FC at Kira Police Arena
  • Maroons FC vs Kigezi Home Boyz at Mutesa II Stadium
