The game that lived to its billing saw both sides miss chances in the match played at a soggy Wankulukuku Stadium pitch after a heavy downpour.
Villa's goalkeeping coach Mubarak Kiberu was on the touchline in the absence of head coach Wasswa Bbosa who was still serving his final game of a three match ban, while his assistant Paul Mukatabala, was recently suspended by the club.
The result leaves Express third from bottom on 28 points.
