There will be renewal of acquaintances when SC Villa visits fellow strugglers Tooro United at Buhinga stadium, Fort Portal in the only league game on the day.

The Jogoos, at the bottom of the table with only three points from seven games target their first victory of the season while Tooro United have only earned two points better and sit 13th on the log.

Former SC Villa players Simon Sserunkuma, Godfrey Lwesibawa, Mahad Kakooza and Isa Lumu among others all turn guns against their former bosses.

“Just like us, we are struggling and need to pick up points,” said Lumu. “If they beat us, they go above us on the table standings so we can’t afford to slip up,” he added.

Tooro United who are likely to miss the services of Coach Wasswa Bbosa who is on national duty with the Uganda Kobs have won just one game and are now winless in five.

SC Villa who have lost just once against Tooro United in the last ten meetings are without Derrick Ndahiro (Rwanda U23 side) and Joseph Semujju (Uganda Kobs) as well as long term absentees Joseph Nsubuga and Samson Kirya.

Defender Savio Kabugo who has featured in all games for the 16-time champions this season is also out injured.

Pius Wangi, Albert Mugisa and Bashir Mutanda will need to be at their best if the visitors are to pick all points while Allan Kayiwa will be the main man for the hosts.

Tooro United last won a league game against SC Villa in 2015 and lost both games last season.
