Express Football Club head coach Shafiq Bisaso returns to the spot light on Tuesday when he guides the Red Eagles in the match against his immediate former employers Soana at Kavumba Recreational Stadium.

This comes days after visiting Sports Club Villa Jogoo away at the Masaka Recreational Stadium (Express succumbed to a late goal scored by Alex ‘Benzema’ Kitata).

For Starters, Bisaso had also coached at the Jogoos before he was sacked to join Soana.

This will be his third game since taking charge of Express, a club that has looked out of sorts this term.

In 12 matches, the Red Eagles have managed just three wins, 2 draws and 7 losses which leaves them third from bottom with 11 points.

On the other hand, Soana is 12th with 13 points, a rate of one point per game.

Anchorman Paddy Muhumuza shall be called up to cover miles and miles of distances against an Express midfield that has comfort on the ball.

Other Express players expected for the game include Juma Ssebadukka, Ronnie Kiseeka, Sulaiman Jjingo, David Ndihabwe, U-20 star midfielder Sharif Ochaya Muhammed among others.

The Red Eagles goalkeeper Godwin Buule, if fielded will face a side that he once served in the yester-years.

Former Express captain Kavuma is also at Soana and will come face to face with a team that baby sat him.

A victory for either sides will assure them a relief off heading to the two week’s CECAFA break.
