Coach Paul Kiwanuka will bank on Joseph Janjali, Angu James and Jamil Kalisa among others for maximum points.

On Maroons side, they have collected four from a possible nine points in the opening three second round games where they picked a 2-0 win against BUL FC in their last league encounter before 4-1 win against Northern regional side Young Elephant in Uganda Cup round of 64 last Thursday.

Maroons will be seeking to complete a double against Bright Stars but they will be without their defenders Olega Ceaser who accumulated three consecutive yellow cards and Sylvester Okello who is nursing an injury but he is expected to be back for their game against Tooro.

However, they will rely on their good attacking force of Mukwala Steven, Bronson Nsubuga and Fred Amaku for goals.
