While Express have won just three of their opening eight matches matches, BUL have managed eight victories in nine.
Seven-time Uganda Premier League champions Express FC will be hoping to end BUL FC's recent run of excellent form when the two meet on Tuesday at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
While Express have won just three of their opening eight matches matches, BUL have managed eight victories in nine.
BUL sit comfortably at the summit with 24 points, four ahead of runners-up Vipers SC, and thus, it will be a daunting task for Express to get points off them.
"BUL is a good and strong team but we're also trying to rectify our past mistakes," Express head coach James Odoch said in the pre-match interview.
The Red Eagles are winless in their past four matches, losing two and drawing as many in the process.
