Nakivubo Stadium is set to host an exciting conclusion to match day three of the Uganda Premier League today, September 28, 2024, with doubleheader action featuring Express FC, Maroons FC, URA FC, and Mbarara City FC.
In the day’s earlier match at 4 PM, four-time league champions URA will face Mbarara City. The tax collectors, who are fresh off a 1-0 win against Soltilo Bright Stars, are looking to secure their first home victory of the 2024-25 season. Coach Alex Isabirye is determined to build on last week’s performance after an opening loss to KCCA. Their opponents, Mbarara City, are still searching for their first win after a 4-2 defeat to champions SC Villa and a draw against newly promoted Police FC.
Later at 7 PM, Express FC will return to action under the Nakivubo floodlights for a crucial home game against Maroons. The Red Eagles are eager to bounce back after a tough loss to Vipers last week. Coach Baker Mbowa’s squad, featuring key players like Sam Ssenyonjo, Alpha Ssali, and John Asiimwe, must secure all three points to stay in contention for the title.
Maroons FC, meanwhile, are desperate for their first win of the season after a slow start, drawing against UPDF and losing to Wakiso Giants. With just one point so far, they sit in the relegation zone and will need standout performances from veteran players like Solomon Walusimbi, Ronald Orombi, and former Express youngster Ivan Mayanja to avoid another setback.
With both matches promising plenty of action, the pressure is on for all four teams to deliver results and move up the league table.
