The biggest Ugandan club football rivarly takes centre stage once again on Tuesday afternoon when the Red Eagles host arch rivals S.C Villa in the Stanbic Uganda cup round of 32 at the Muteesa II stadium Wankulukuku.

Express FC who are record cup holders with 11 titles are hoping to make the round of 16 in as many times in the competition.

According to Express FC interim coach James Odoch, his charges are more than ready to register a win against SC Villa as they targets winning this competition.

“We’ve done our last training ahead of our game on Tuesday against S.C Villa, we’ve been working on finishing which I think we didn’t do well in our last game against URA FC,” Odoch said before adding.

The boys are ready know what is at stake, we respect Villa and know they’ll pose a threat but as a team we want to win this competition and I am positive we shall advance to the round of 16,” he added.

The last 25 meetings have seen the champions pick up eight wins to Villa’s nine with eight draws in between them.

Express FC are unbeaten in the last three derbies with the last one ending in a goalless draw.

The Red Eagles are chasing a record 12th domestic cup in the club’s history while SC Villa have managed 10 domestic titles in their history.

Both clubs have 22 league titles in between them.
