Express is set to host NEC today, Monday, May 13th, at the Muteesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku as the penultimate round of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League kicks off. The match holds significant importance for both teams as they strive to secure crucial points in their respective standings.
The hosts, currently sitting in 9th place with 32 points, alongside Bright Stars and Wakiso Giants, are eager to break their four-match winless streak. This match marks their final home fixture of the campaign, and Express are determined to conclude their home run on a high note.
On the other hand, NEC enters the fixture after a commendable performance in their last outing, holding reigning champions Vipers to a goalless draw.
