SC Villa seek to move top of the Uganda Premier League table for at least twenty four hours when they visit on form Busoga United at Kakindu on Friday.
The Jogoos are second with 34 points and a win will lift them above log leaders KCCA who are not in action until the following day at home to Maroons.
Villa have won their last three games on the bounce and will be confident of victory but must aware of the threat Busoga United who are fighting for their life in the top tier possess.
The Jinja based side come into the game on the back of three back to back wins including one against URA at Lugazi last week where they had to come from a goal down.
Experienced Isaac Isinde will be required to keep attackers led by Charles Bbale silent with youngster Laban Tibita running the show in advanced areas.
Jackson Magera’s side is boosted by the availability of Kenneth Ssemakula and Travis Mutyaba who missed the last encounter while on national duty with Cranes.
The past twelve meetings have produced four wins for either and as many draws.
Villa won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku but have never completed a double over the Kings men winning only once away.
Busoga United are 12th on the table with 18 points and if they win and Express who play Onduparaka in the early kick off falter, they will exchange 11th position.
