2025/26 Uganda Premier League | Friday April 24, 2026 | MD 25
- Express FC Vs BUL FC – Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo | 8 pm
BUL FC head to Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo on April 24, 2026, looking for a response and a way back to stability after a painful 5-2 setback against UPDF FC in their last home match.
They face Express FC under the floodlights in a late kick off, in an Uganda Premier League encounter that carries more weight than the table position might suggest.
BUL sit eighth with 31 points, just a point ahead of Express FC, who are 10th on 30 points.
With both teams outside the title race, the focus is now firmly on finishing inside the top half and every point counts.
BUL FC arrive in Nakivubo still hurting from a 5-2 home defeat to UPDF FC at the FUFA Technical Centre, a result that exposed defensive lapses and halted their progress.
Their form has been uneven four wins, three draws, and three defeats in their last ten matches. It is a run that keeps them competitive, but also fragile with all eyes on Karim Ndugwa, who has scored seven league goals this season.
Express FC, despite off-field financial challenges, have shown signs of life in recent weeks.
They come into this match after back to back 3-1 wins over URA FC and Police FC, before edging UPDF 1-0 and later a goalless draw with NEC FC at Nakivubo in their last game.
That draw may have slowed their momentum, but it also showed they are becoming harder to break down at home with exciting talents like Kenneth Kimera, Elvis Ssekajugo, Marvin Nyanzi and Mulamba Blanchar.
Recent meetings between the two sides show how evenly matched they have been. Wins have swung both ways over the years, with draws also common.
