- SC Villa vs BUL
- Lugazi vs Vipers
Uganda Premier League rivals SC Villa and BUL FC will face off at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, on Thursday.
Both teams will be eager to secure a victory and improve their positions in the league standings.
SC Villa, coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss to Mbale Heroes, will be aiming to return to winning ways.
They opened the season with a convincing 4-2 victory over Mbarara City but have since struggled to maintain that momentum.
BUL FC, on the other hand, have yet to win a game this season.
Despite their efforts, the team has been plagued by an inability to convert chances in the final third.
Head coach Abbey Kikomeko has acknowledged this issue and has been working with his strikers to improve their finishing.
“We know this won’t be an easy match,” Kikomeko said. “SC Villa is a strong team, but we believe we can capitalize on our recent draw and secure a win.”
