SC Villa welcome newly promoted Kitara in the biggest of the Premier League opening day fixtures in a highly anticipated clash at Wankulukuku.
Dusan Stojanovic’s side will have all to prove after coming close to winning the title last season until the final day.
Under Jackson Magera, who the new Serb admits Villa were unlucky not to lift the title, the Jogoos won all but four home games.
Charles Lwanga, Hakim Kiwanuka, Peter Onzima and Gavin Kizito are some of the new faces at Villa Park after the departure of Charles Bbale and Gift Fred and will hope to improve the team especially going forward where they struggled to score goals.
Kitara – led by Brian Ssenyondo have bolstered their squad since gaining promotion and have experienced lads in their team.
Jude Ssemugabi, Brian Aheebwa, Denis Omedi and Frank Tumwesigye Zaga join Paul Mucureezi and George Ssenkaaba among seasonal campaigners at the club.
