KCCA FC will be seeking to return to winning ways when they make a short trip to rivals Express FC under the lights of Nakivubo on Thursday night.
The Kasasiro boys have won once and drawn twice in their previous three league outings this term.
Express FC on the hand have had an inconsistent campaign so far, having won just once, lost and drawn as many in their opening three league games and are currently on four points.
They played out to a 1-1 stalemate with URA FC in their previous league game with former KCCA FC player Muhammad Kagawa Ssenoga scoring their equalizer over the tax collectors.
KCCA FC won this fixture last season 3-0 thanks to Julius Poloto and Emmanuel Anyama goals.
