Former SC Villa midfielder Joseph Mutyaba will be in the dugout leading Bright Stars when the two sides face off at Kavumba Recreation Ground on Tuesday.
The hosts are rejuvenated following a false start and are now unbeaten in the last four games with two wins and as many stalemates.
They face a Villa side who has blow hot and cold but one they rarely overcome given past history.
However, with on form Nelson Ssenkatuka, Sam Ssenyonjo and the reliable Andrew Kyambadde at the back, they will be confident of stopping the Jogoos.
Villa will hope forwards Charles Lwanga, Ivan Bogere and Patrick Jona Kakande carry their scoring boots after missing lots of opportunities in the win over Busoga United.
But its on form Umar Lutalo and maestro Elvis Ngondwe that the hosts must keenly look out for if they are to survive.
