A plot for the fourth victory in the row.
Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Football Club makes the long trip to Fort Portal for match 148 against Tooro United on Tuesday, 28th January 2020.
The game comes in the wake of three successful victories since the second round kicked off on 7th January 2020 with the 2-0 home win over Sports Club Villa.
URA continued with the fairytale with a comprehensive 3-1 away win to BUL at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru and that hard-fought 1-0 home win over Bright Stars.
Coming to this match proper, URA has since taken command of the fourth place on the log with 29 points, 13 off the leaders (Vipers).
Team news:
Since breaking off from the league for the Stanbic Uganda Cup, URA easily bossed over Lugazi Municipal 4-0 at the Mehta Stadium in Lugazi last Friday.
There was virtually no resting time as the team regrouped barely 24 hours after the victory in Lugazi to train at Gayaza on Saturday in preparation for the Tooro United game.
There is good news for the return of several players from ailments as midfielder Joackiam Ojera and defender Patrick Mbowa.
The grey area remains with the concern of injured players in midfielder Moses Sseruyidde, forward Daniel Isiagi and defender Najib Fesali.
Ojera will be rested for the game and goalkeeper James Alitho misses the trip to Fort Portal.
By and large, 19 players left Kampala for Fort Portal on Monday morning and held a limbering last training in Fort Portal.

The game on Tuesday will be handled by Julius Kasibante as the centre referee.
