Overview:
Currently 9th on the log with 7 points, the Cops are desperate to redeem themselves following a heavy 3-0 defeat to Entebbe UPPC.
SC Villa have a golden opportunity to climb to the summit of the table if they secure victory in their match day six fixture.
The 17-time champions, SC Villa, make a short trip to the Kira Police Arena in Kamwokya to battle Police FC at 4:00 PM. Villa, who sit on 11 points, can scale the top of the log and move to 14 points with a maximum points haul.
Zeljko Kovacevic’s men will be looking to bounce back from a frustrating 1-1 draw against Kataka FC in their last outing. The Blues are expected to welcome back key international figures David Lukwago, Frank Ssebuufu, and Geoffrey Lubangakene to the starting lineup after they were rested on the bench last week.
However, 2005 champions Police FC will be no pushovers. Currently 9th on the log with 7 points, the Cops are desperate to redeem themselves following a heavy 3-0 defeat to Entebbe UPPC.
Police will also draw confidence from last season’s corresponding fixture, where they walked away with a controversial 1-0 victory after Villa’s Frank Ssebuufu had a goal dubiously disallowed.
Matia Lule’s men will look to Bedia Ikamba and Samuel Ssekamatte for goals but miss left back Matovu who was sent off against Entebbe UPPC.
Elsewhere, NEC, joint-second with Villa travel to Kamwenge to face hosts Kigezi Home Boyz.
