- Match 191: Sports Club Villa Vs Brightstars – Mandela National Stadium, Namboole (4 PM)
Sports Club Villa will play host to on form Bright Stars at the gigantic Mandela National Stadium, Namboole on Friday, February 28, 2020.
The game is one of the two of those lined up on the day to complete match day 24 of the Uganda Premier League.
Both clubs have varying missions at hand to accomplish from this match.
The Jogoos who are currently third on the log are playing catch up to the two leading clubs Vipers and KCCA with some slight chances of “winning” the lead.
On 40 points (with a game in hand), SC Villa is 13 and 9 points from Vipers and KCCA respectively.
But, Bright Stars need the maximum points from the game as well as they continue to further distance themselves from the relegation candidates.
Paul Kiwanuka and Simon Peter Mugerwa’s coached side is currently 9th on the team standings with 29 points.
It will be a game of great magnitude to Mugerwa who served as assistant coach at the Jogoos last season.
