Express coach George Ssimwogerere was in the stands watching Express being subjected to a hurting 2-0 loss by Abdallah Mubiru’s Police at wankulukuku.
Whereas the Cops were exerting their vengeance after losing 3-1 to Express in the earlier league tie at StarTimes Stadium, Ssimwogerere who replaced axed Kefa Kisala maintains they should have won but gave in easily.
He has promised a better game this time round when the two sides square off this afternoon at Wankulukuku at the round of 16 in the Stanbic Uganda Cup. “It will be a good game and we hope to win it. The return of Michael Birungi and Tony Odur will boost us as we search for goals,” he said. The 10-time Uganda Cup winners welcome back forward Birungi who missed the last two games due to suspension and will still look to the experience of goal poacher Brian Umony to eject Police.
At Namboole, four-time winners URA welcome back defensive midfielder Siraje Sentamu and playmaker Shafik Kagimu for their slippery task against Fred Kajoba’s Bright Stars. Last evening, Fufa Big League side Proline shocked Onduparaka at Lugogo with a 2-1 victory.
