SC Villa’s title hopes will be put to the test as they host NEC at Fufa Stadium, Kadiba, under floodlights on Thursday.

The seventeen-time champions are riding high on a three-match winning streak and are currently third on the log with 10 points from six league matches.

Villa’s impressive form was highlighted by their 1-0 victory over Kitara in their last match, and they will be looking to become the first team this season to win four games in a row.

However, they will be without forward Reagan Mpande, who has started their previous three matches, due to international commitments.

This could open up opportunities for Frank Ssebuufu, scorer of the winner against Kitara, Andrew Otim, and Charles Lwanga to stake their claims.

NEC, who have won just one game this season, will be looking to upset Villa and secure their first win under new coach Badru Kaddu.

The visitors could have striker Innocent Media back, but are without Jacob Okao, who is ruled out for the rest of the season. Last season, NEC edged both encounters, but overall, Villa has won three, including the Fufa Super 8 final in August.

Other Matches

Elsewhere, Express visits Lugazi, while Kitara welcomes BUL at Royal Park in Butema, Hoima. Other match-day seven fixtures include Buhimba Saints United vs Mbarara City and KCCA vs URA.
