Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Express want to get back on the front foot. Vipers want to pull away in their bid to retain the StarTimes Uganda Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Having failed to win in five of their previous seven league games, Express coach Wasswa Bbosa is sleepless as the pressure mounts. They are third on 37 points, six behind leaders Vipers. When the two meet today at St Mary\u2019s Stadium, Kitende, hosts Vipers will want to deliver the proverbial knockout punch to the visitors\u2019 title ambitions with 11 rounds to play. \u201cWe need to get back to winning ways at all costs. We pray that all our injured players are back in time now that we have also drawn URA in the Uganda Cup tourney,\u201d Bbosa reasons.<\/p>\n

Absentees in loss<\/b><\/p>\n

The Red Eagles missed Martin Kizza, Godfrey Lwesibawa, George Ssenkaaba, Daniel Shabene, Arthur Kigundu and Abel Eturude in Wednesday\u2019s 2-1 loss Soltilo Bright Stars.<\/p>\n

Kizza, Shabene and Lwesibawa are expected to return today. \u201cI have instructed the boys to die a little while trying to get a win over Vipers because we badly need it,\u201d stresses Bbosa. Defeat would grow the gap between them and Vipers to nine.<\/p>\n

Express haven\u2019t beaten Vipers in the last six outings. Before the mid-week goalless draw with Wakiso Giants which signaled the first dropped points at home, the Venoms had won their last four.<\/p>\n

Coach Fred Kajoba promises change. \u201cWe are going to be different against Express,\u201d Kajoba says. \u201cWe had the chances to kill off the Wakiso but it wasn\u2019t our day.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the other game, Kyetume coach Jackson Mayanja feels right at home at Nakisunga Stadium, in part because the team has home advantage at last when they host Wakiso Giants.<\/p>\n
