Match Preview & Prediction for URA vs Express in Uganda Premier League

See below all the main information for this match.

The key question is whether URA can leverage their recent dominant win at Hamz Stadium, where they scored five goals to zero, to gain confidence before facing Express. Considering their past head-to-head record with URA having won 80% of recent encounters and their current strong form, URA is favored.

URA's recent form shows they have been resilient, with two wins in their last five games and a strong league performance with no losses in their last outings. They have shown defensive solidity and attacking potency, especially at home, making them slight favorites for the upcoming fixture.

Express has shown a mixed bag of results, including a recent away victory at Lugazi and consolidating their away game strength with a win and a draw in recent fixtures. They tend to perform well at away venues and could pose a threat if they can replicate their effective counter-attacking style.
