MATCH PREVIEW: BUL FC MAKE SHORT TRIP AWAY TO VILLA

BUL Football Club make a short trip this Tuesday across the bridge to play SC Villa at FUFA Technical Center at 3PM.

The Eastern Giants are in a second successive game away from home and will be on the lookout for nothing less but victory after dropping points against URA FC at the Arena of Visions last time out. 

Alex Isabirye’s men negotiated a perfect come back in that affair after Steven Mukwala and Shafik Kagimu gave the hosts a two goal advantage but Musa Esenu and Joseph Semujju fired back to level the game and also maintain their positive run in foreign territory.

BUL occupy fourth place on the table with 10 points to show from their five matches, and a win off the Jogoos will send them third and level on points with Vipers who sit second on the log.

For SC Villa, this will be their fourth outing, floating 13th in rankings with a tally of four points following their energy supping draw with Express the last time they took to the field.

This encounter will be the 21st league meeting between the two sides since 2011.
