There have been some heartbreaks and shockers in the ongoing Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 64 but that’s the beauty of cup competitions.
Express enter the fray today with a short trip to Kajjansi to face Kajansi United. Express head coach James Odoch and his captain Isa Lumu know the threat posed by Kajjansi when they meet this evening at the Uganda Clays ground.
“It is one of the best teams in the Regional League and they have very good coaches and players,” Odoch noted.
“We shall not take them for granted because we want to progress to the next level of the competition therefore I expect the players to be as aggressive as possible against such a difficult opponent," he added.

“The Uganda Cupdraw landed us on Kajjansi United in the Round of 64 which is a very stubborn team," said Lumu before adding.
A few years ago they eliminated one of the best teams in Uganda that is Vipers but have prepared well enough and we are hopeful that we shall win and advance to the Round of 32."
