Today Sunday, 3pm in Uganda Premier League
SC Villa v Maroons
SC Villa will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing 2-0 defeat to UPDF when they host Maroons FC at Mutesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku, as matchday 19 of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League concludes. Meanwhile, Maroons are also desperate for a turnaround, having gone four league matches without a win.
Villa will take confidence from their impressive home record this season, remaining unbeaten at Wankulukuku. Additionally, they have a dominant head-to-head record against Maroons, winning five of their last 12 meetings while losing just once.
In their previous encounter at this venue last season, Villa secured a 2-1 victory, with Patrick Kakande inspiring the comeback after Fred Amaku had given Maroons an early lead. Kakande, last season’s MVP, will once again be a key figure for the Jogoos.
Both teams are level on 24 points, but Villa sits in 8th place with a superior goal difference, while Maroons are 10th. Given Villa’s strong home form and psychological advantage over Maroons, they will be confident of getting back to winning ways. However, Maroons will be eager to break their poor run and pull off an upset.
