Former Express FC tactician Wasswa Bbosa will aim to get his first three points of the season when he takes on Express FC, a side with which he achieved the biggest coaching career success.
It will however not be his first return to Wankulukuku after opening the season with a disappointing 2-0 loss against SC Villa.
Bbosa will face off with former protege James Odoch who was elevated to head coach role after serving as Bbosa’s assistant at Express FC.
Known for his knack of moving with trusted lieutenants wherever he goes, many Gaddafi players will be facing their former side.
