Express FC welcome Bidco Uganda Limited (BUL) FC to the Betway Mutessa II Stadium, Wankulukuku on Monday afternoon in the Uganda Cup quarter finals.
The Red Eagles have not reached the semis since they lost to KCCA in 2017 but with some of the big guns already out, they will be fancying their chances to go all the way.
With only Vipers, amongst the traditional top four sides, left in the competition, George Ssemwogerere’s side are right to dream of a first triumph in the competition since 2007 but they will need to win on Monday first.
“We want to win it because it is a while since we triumphed in the Cup”, said Ssemwogerere ahead of the game.
Speaking about the team news, Ssemwogerere had this to say;
“It’s good that Kambale (Eric) is back. The only worry is, he’s not yet on the level he is supposed to be playing at but he is doing well, added the former Isaac (Mutanga) adds leadership to us and he is welcome, (Brian Umony) also improving fitness wise as well as Tony (Odur). They are experienced players and make us stronger.
For Bul, they are one of several clubs featuring in the top tier minus winning either the Cup or League.
They may be one of the outsiders for this year’s Uganda Cup but definitely a side that is capable of causing upsets.
Having eliminated Mbarara in the round of 32, they will be confident they can also take care of Express.
“We know how big a side Express is but we are not scared of them,” said Bul coach Peter Onen.
“All we are supposed to do is try and play well and hopefully win the contest.
“When you reach such a stage, people will start talking about you winning the competition but for us we are concentrating the task ahead of us and that is Express.
