Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC will be targeting a fourth straight win when they make a short trip to Nakivubo to face Express FC under the lights.
The Venoms have won three games in a row against newcomers Entebbe UPPC, KCCA FC and Maroons FC.
Vipers come into this game after their 2-1 win over Maroons last Saturday while the Red Eagles drew goalless with Lugazi in their previous game.
Express have this season managed two wins, drawn three and lost twice in their opening seven matches.
Jimmy Kintu Mwera will be in charge of his first home game as Express FC head coach and will be seeking maximum points.
The Red Eagles will look up to former Venoms player Richard Basangwa, Ssenoga Kagawa and experienced Moses Oloya for inspiration. They will also be boosted by the return of John Asiimwe who featured for the Uganda Cubs at the FIFA U17 World Cup in Qatar.
Allan Okello who started the game against Maroons is expected to start along with Yunus Sentamu and Usama Arafat who recently opened up his Vipers account.
Last season, Vipers beat Express FC 3-0 at Kitende before the two sides faced off in a explosive 2-2 draw at Nakivubo.
