Preview: Villa, KCCA face off in Kampala Derby
SC Villa and KCCA are set to clash at Wankulukuku for the highly anticipated Kampala Derby in the Uganda Premier League.
The hosts will fancy their chances of getting maximum points and will hence bank on their home advantage and capitalizing on the Visitors’ slow start.
Currently sixth on the table with 19 points, SC Villa holds a nine-point lead over KCCA, who barely edge past the relegation zone based on goal difference alone.
KCCA has struggled this season, failing to secure a win and managing only one draw in their five away games.
KCCA beat SC Villa home and away last season and has lost just twice in their last 21 encounters, indicating their potential to upset the odds once again.
