For Maroons FC, they have so far played two games, won against Kyetume Fc and lost to URA FC.
Speaking to the press after training assistant coach to Tooro Eric Ndifuna said the team has prepared well and because they have lost two games they badly need the three points at home.
“Maroons is a ball playing team and we lost to them at their home but defeated them in the reverse fixture last season. We are currently in need of the points; we lost two consecutive games, so we want these points so bad. Ndifuna said.
Team news
Tooro United will be missing the services of their defender Arthur Kiggundu, midfielder Steven Luswata due to injuries, and their head coach, Wasswa Bbosa who is still serving his three-match suspension.
Godfrey Lwesibawa and John Ssemazzi will be the players to watch for Tooro United.
Striker Rashid Agau scored the lone goal as they defeated Kyetume, and the striker is expected to play a key role for Maroons.
