UPL Preview: Villa Look to Bounce Back as Bright Stars Aim to End Winless Streak

Defending Uganda Premier League champions, SC Villa, will aim to return to winning ways this afternoon when they host Soltilo Bright Stars, who are yet to secure a win this season, at Mutesa II Stadium in Wankulukuku.

The Jogoos, currently 9th on the table, are eager to bounce back from their defeat to Vipers before the international break and reignite their title defense.

With just three games played, Villa have shown mixed form, but today’s game presents an opportunity to turn the tide.

After garnering just 6 points in their opening four fixtures, 4 behind joint league leaders Vipers and KCCA, the side know that nothing less than maximum points will keep them within sight of the title chase.

Despite the pressure, they are well aware of the threat posed by a desperate Bright Stars side that is yet to register a win this season.

Bright Stars are languishing on just two points, after 2 losses and 2 draws in their opening four fixtures, and are already battling early-season relegation fears.

While they have struggled, the visitors are likely to put up stiff resistance as they look to kickstart their campaign.

Skipper Nelson Ssenkatuka will be their go-to man, providing leadership and a much-needed spark in their attacking efforts.

Historically, Villa have dominated this fixture, winning 11 of the 22 league meetings between the two sides.

While Bright Stars have managed just three victories against Villa, they have only lost one of their last three encounters, including two 1-1 draws last season.

However, Soltilo Bright Stars’ current form tells a different story, as they are winless in their last 16 league outings, recording five losses and eleven draws.

For Villa, home advantage could be crucial. The Jogoos have been a formidable force at Wankulukuku, losing only one of their previous eleven home matches.

This could be the perfect stage for them to regain momentum and get their title defense back on track.
