SC Villa return to Fufa Stadium, Kadiba on Wednesday with momentum on their side, eager to close the year on a high and avoid losing further ground on early pace-setters KCCA FC.
Fresh from an emphatic 3–0 victory over URA, the Jogoos will look to carry that authority into their meeting with league newcomers Calvary, a side still searching for its first taste of maximum points in the top flight. The fixture offers Villa a chance not only to extend their unbeaten confidence but also to apply pressure above them in the standings.
There is a timely lift in personnel for the 16-time champions, with winger Sula Matovu and left-back Simon Kato Ssemayange both returning after serving suspensions. However, coach Dusan Stojanovic must still navigate absences, as Geoffrey Lubangakene remains out following a red card, while Reagan Mpande and David Owori are away on national duty.
Currently fourth with 20 points, Villa know victory is non-negotiable if they are to stay in touch with KCCA, who moved five points clear at the summit after edging Buhimba United Saints 1–0 on Tuesday.
For Calvary, the trip to Kadiba presents another stern lesson in life at the elite level, as they continue their search for consistency against one of Uganda’s most decorated clubs.
