Caf Champions League
Al Merrikh (1) Vs Express (2)
Sunday, 8pm
Al Obeid Shikan Stadium
Express will hope to shrug off several off field disruptions and book their place into the second round of the Caf Champions League when they play Sudanese side El Merreikh.
This is after Red Eagles saw their return leg against the Sudanese champions postponed by two days having initially travelled with the belief it would be played on Friday.
It has since been moved by 48 hours including a change in the match-day venue that saw the match transferred from Khartoum to El Obeid Shikan Castle Stadium in Kurdufan State.
"The extra days we have spent here have given us the advantage to acclimatize to Sudan hot whether.
We want to assure our fans that we are going to deliver victory on Sunday," Bbosa insisted ahead of Sunday’s game.
Express hold a 2-1 advantage after goals from livewire striker Eric Kambale and Martin Kizza delivered victory.
Bbosa who will again be away from the technical bench owing to Caf’s stringent qualification rules will hope stand-in coaches Simon Kirumira and James Odoch execute his game plan to the core.
“We’ve prepared well and we shall definitely do a good job, the team is aware about the job at hand and they all want to progress to the first round so we hope we arrive safely and execute the game plan,” Bbosa added.
He will also expect a better showing from his backline of Enoch Walusimbi, Murushid Juuko, Arthur Kigundu and Issa Lumu after they were caught out at a corner for Merreikh’s goal.
The coaching team also have a number of central midfield options to choose from with Abel Eturude, Mahad Kakooza, Daniel Shabene, John Byamukama and Muzamir Mutyaba all available for selection.
A draw of any kind will see Express through to the next round to face either Equatorial Guinea's Akonangui FC or Zanaco of Zambia.
