The Jogoos will be eager to maintain their momentum as they continue their push to stay competitive at the top end of the Uganda Premier League table.
Following a goalless draw at home against Express FC in the derby, SC Villa travel to face Uganda Police FC on Tuesday afternoon at Kira Road Police Grounds in Kamwokya.
The Linglong Boys currently sit fourth on the league table, and victory could see them climb as high as second place depending on other results.
Meanwhile, Police FC have experienced a mixed run of results this season. The Cops have shown resilience in several matches but have struggled to find consistent form.
Recent meetings between the two sides have often ended evenly. In their last ten encounters, seven matches have finished in draws, while SC Villa have won three. Police FC are still searching for their first win in that run.
