Uganda Premier League Today, 8pm
At Hamz stadium
Express v Police
Pride and momentum take center stage when Express host Police at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo on Wednesday, with both sides chasing contrasting ambitions in the league run-in.
Express, still reeling from their earlier defeat to Police this season, will be desperate to restore parity and revive their push into the top half of the table. Having exited the Stanbic Uganda Cup, the Red Eagles now have full focus on improving their league standing, where they currently sit 10th with 23 points after 21 matches.
Police, on the other hand, arrive with confidence and a chance to achieve a rare feat—completing a season double over their opponents. Their first-round victory, secured through decisive attacking moments, remains a psychological edge heading into this encounter.
For head coach Matia Lule, the fixture carries added significance against familiar opposition, as his side looks to replicate a historic home-and-away triumph last achieved several seasons ago. A win would further boost Police’s climb up the table and strengthen their top-five ambitions.
With both teams seeking a strong finish to the campaign, Wednesday’s clash promises intensity, urgency, and a battle for crucial points at Nakivubo. In another midweek fixture, Maroons welcome BUL to the Prisons Grounds in Luzira on Wednesday.
