KCCA FC will be seeking a second successive victory under new coach Jackson Mayanja as they visit Wasswa Bbosa’s Gaddafi FC at the Kakindu Stadium in Jinja.
Mayanja’s first game was a 4-1 win over SC Villa last week courtesy of goals from Simon Kankonde, Saidi Mayanja, Rogers Mato and Julius Poloto.
