Vipers SC v Express FC

Express FC have a huge job to deny Vipers SC opportunity to close in on KCCA FC at St Mary’s Stadium on Friday afternoon.

The Red Devils new man in charge George Ssemwogerere Ssimu believes he has rejuvinated the spirit at Wankulukuku to bring down the defending champions with some of his key stars robbed of injury and loan regulations.

While talking to the club’s in house website, www.expressfc.co.ug, Ssimu is defiant his fatigued outfit will turn the tables against Vipers SC at their backyard.

On how he expects the game to be…

We came from Ndejje and we had to travel so we have some fatigue and we are trying to go over it. Tomorrow’s (Friday) game will be good on our side and we want to win the game.

On team news…

Two players got injured against Ndejje, Musoke and Kiggundu. Musoke won’t be available but Kiggundu trained with us and we shall do further assessments. Galiwango also has accumulated three yellow cards so he won’t be available. Zaga will also not be available because he is a Vipers player but we have decent replacements.

On whether he will change the tactics…

We got injured players so we shall bring in new ones and we may be forced to change the way we play. We also have to know how Vipers play and we find means to stop them and they change to our system.

On Vipers as a team…

They are a good team but we are building Express to play our way to play that way and then Vipers will adopt our playing style not us following theirs. Vipers they are home but for us we shall go out there and attack them.
They have good players and have quality but I’m not afraid because in most cases if you have many good players you become disorganized were you leave out good players and play those who are not so good but if you have a number which is just enough you make them do what you want to do, Vipers may be disorganized tomorrow.

On playing on an artificial turf…

It’s not new most players in my team have played on it and it is not a threat even in Njeru we played on it against BUL and had a very good game so there will be no problem.
