SC Villa and BUL lock horns at Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku on Thursday in a game no team wants to drop points after faltering in the previous round.
The champions were stunned by newcomers Mbale Heroes over the weekend as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat while BUL are yet to win in two league matches drawing both fixtures against Police and KCCA.
Villa have an opportunity to move into second place with a win while the Jinja based side could also claim second position if they win Vipers who play away to Lugazi on the same day.
Team News
The hosts could welcome midfielder Misi Diego Ssemugera back into the starting eleven after he missed the opening fixture due to injury.
He made a cameo appearance against Mbale Heroes and got praises from his coach Morley Byekwaso.
For BUL, they are to miss Ibrahim Oriti who is unwell but the rest are available for selection.
Morley Byekwaso (SC Villa coach): “We are prepared and ready. We didn’t play bad versus Mbale but we just didn’t convert our chances as we did against Mbarara. We are confident of winning.”
Abbey Kikomeko (BUL Coach): “We are going into this game aware we haven’t won. We expect a tough game because Villa lost their game and we also didn’t win but we shall fight to get the three points.”
