On the other hand, Gaddafi are threatened by relegation as they sit 14th on the 16-team log with 13 points, but Kikomeko expects it tough against them.
Despite it being a battle of top against a recent struggler, BUL FC head coach Abbey Bogere Kikomeko doesn't expect it easy as his side takes on Gaddafi FC later today.
BUL are in the hunt for their first-ever Uganda Premier League title, and sit on top of the table comfortably with 32 points, six ahead of runners-up Kitara FC.
On the other hand, Gaddafi are threatened by relegation as they sit 14th on the 16-team log with 13 points, but Kikomeko expects it tough against them.
“Gaddafi is a team that often disturbs us in the league, but we played our first derby against Busoga United, which wasn’t easy, and we managed to win 1-0,” he told the club media.
