Four-time Uganda Premier League champions URA FC are enduring an indifferent run of form under the stewardship of head coach and Uganda Cranes legend David Obua.
The Tax Collectors have managed a single victory in their last five matches, losing thrice and drawing on one occasion.
They battle seven-time winners Express FC at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku om Saturday, with the urge to turn the fortunes around.
Obua has conceded he and the team are under immense pressure to turn the good football into desirable results.

UPL Vipers should be playing better football - URA coach David Obua
Moses Waiswa and Karim Watambala condemned Obua to his first home loss as a Tax Collector, yet he feels the Saturday victors didn't play like reigning champions.
"We need to close the gap because we are eighth on the log, we want to come up. Thats the pressure we are on," Obua told the club media.
"We have not always gotten the results we wanted, but we need this game. I always tell the boys to be hungry. URA plays good football but we need killers who can win the game for us."

"Both teams need to win. But URA needs to win all the games, we're not supposed to be in the position where we are now."
