Victory for Richard Wasswa coached side will see them move to the top of the Uganda Premier league table.
They will move level on points with current leaders BUL FC but the Venoms have a superior goal difference.
Express FC on the other hand come into this contest back of a 2-1 home defeat to Busoga United.
The Red Eagles have only won once since Baker Mbowa took over at the Wankulukuku based side with their victory coming against URA FC last month.
