Friday\u2019s game is abit challenging because Onduparaka FC have done well against us on previous occasions, we\u2019re also aware that Mohammed Shaban has been scoring so we\u2019ve prepared well to ensure he doesn\u2019t score. Our target remains finishing in the top four and we can only do that by winning games\u201d.<\/strong> Interim head coach, James Odoch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Match day 26<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today 22nd April 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Express FC Vs Onduparaka FC, Betway muteesa Stadium at 4:00PM <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tomorrow 23rd April 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Police FC Vs URA FC, MTN omondi Stadium, Lugogo at 4:00PM <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Express players in action in one of the league games
