FOOTBALL Express fires head coach James Odoch
His final game had Express pick a one-all stalemate with table leaders BUL FC at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku on Tuesday.
"Players are now beginning to believe in themselves, to feel that they can probably do some good work," Mubiru said ahead of the meeting.
"It's another test for us (against Mbarara City), and these are challenges that make us grow bigger in terms of confidence."
Trips to Kakyeka don't come easy for any team, as the hosts have only lost once on their turf this season. They have also picked one win and three stalemates, but Mubiru knows his team can manoeuvre.
"Because the more we face those challenges, we grow, and everyone is happy; no one is afraid of facing a challenge. Everyone is ready and prepared."
