SC Villa will be hoping to return to winning ways when they play host to on-form Bright Stars on Match-day 24 of the #StarTimesUPL at Namboole.

Villa lost their last league encounter, falling 2-1 to BUL FC at Njeru last Sunday.

Ronald Magwali scored first for Villa but were pegged back by Joseph Ssemujju’s double.

“We played against a team that was off form while we were on form but weren’t able to get the win so we are gutted. But that is what football is like. It’s very unpredictable,” Villa captain Asuman Alishe told the club after the loss.

“We are going back to the drawing board to see where we went wrong and we shall be sure to fix those mistakes in our next game. We are working hard every day and we shall not stop giving it our all. We march on.”
