The Tax Collectors have managed a single victory in their last five matches, losing thrice and drawing on one occasion.

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.

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.

"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."

Meanwhile, Express are not fairing any better and have won just once in their last five games, suffering defeat on three occasions.

And Obua expects a tough game where both teams will seek victory.

"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."

"If we prepare better, do things well, I think we can be title contenders. I believe we shall win," Obua added.

Obua was on the touchline as URA edged the Red Eagles 2-1 in the first round, courtesy of goals from Laban Tibira and Moses Aliro. Isaac Wagoina netted the latter's consolation.
