The Jogoos will host Mbarara City FC this Wednesday night under the floodlights at FUFA Stadium, Kadiba, in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League Matchday 14 clash.
SC Villa head into the encounter determined to bounce back from their recent away defeat to BUL FC.
Victory on Wednesday would see the Jogoos close the gap on the league leaders as the title race continues to take shape.
SC Villa have historically dominated this fixture. In 13 previous meetings, the Jogoos have recorded eight wins, while Mbarara City have managed three victories, with two matches ending in draws.
Team news remains encouraging for SC Villa, with Diego Semugera the only confirmed absentee. Head coach Kovacevic has a strong squad to choose from ahead of the encounter.
Speaking ahead of the match, head coach Kovacevic emphasized the team’s response after defeat:
“The pressure that comes with losing a previous game makes you work harder to win the next one. We want to be at the top of the table, and that can only be achieved through hard work.”
Midfielder Tonny Atukunda also underlined the importance of securing all three points:
“The team is ready, and we need to get the three points tomorrow. The coaches corrected the mistakes from our previous game, and it will take hard work to ensure we get maximum points.”
Kick-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM at FUFA Stadium, Kadiba.
