They face Tooro United who have lost all their three games in the second round, two of which have been by forfeiture against Onduparaka and Kyetume FC.

Tooro come into the encounter after losing to KCCA 1-0 at Lugogo in their last league game.

While URA are third on the log and in touching distance with the title favorites Vipers and KCCA, their opponents Tooro are second from the bottom with 14 points.

Despite the uncertainty hovering around the club, Tooro managed to pick a 3-2 win over Starlight FC in the Uganda Cup while URA thumped Lugazi Municipal 4-0 in the same round.

Sam Ssimbwa welcomes back Joackim Ojera and Patrick Mboowa from injury while Moses Seruyidde, Najib Fesali and Dan Isaigi remain sidelined.

Alitho James is also ruled out of the encounter and didn’t travel with the team to Fort Portal.

Cromwell Rwothomio is arguably the most in-form player in the league having scored four goals in the last four league games for URA.

Tooro who are under the stewardship of Mohamed Kisekka, will be boasted by the timely return of defender Mike Kawooya.

Kisekka will also rely on Yafesi Mubiru, Willy Kavuma and Charles Musiige among other in pursuit of a positive result.
