Jackson Magera’s men sit 3rd behind Vipers SC and KCCA FC, the record holders are only behind because of their inferior goal difference compared to their counterparts.
Despite facing a side that has conceded the most this term, they still have a mountain to climb as far as goal difference is concerned.
Vipers have a goal difference of 22 , KCCA 17 against Villa’s meager 7.
They will only hope that the two sides that are visiting Jinja drop points at least. Vipers are visiting BUL and KCCA are being hosted by another relegation fighting side in Busoga United.
Only 4 points separate Busoga from Blacks Power who have 23 with only 2 games left.
Villa and Blacks Power have only faced off once and that was in the first round where the Jogoos won 1-0.
Blacks Power are on the back of a disappointing 1-0 loss to neighbors Onduparaka, they will hope talisman Michael Siwu carries his goal scoring boots to Wankulukuku.
Villa hope to be inspired by the leather boots of Charles Bbaale who is also in contention for the golden boot. He is only one goal behind Express’ Allan Kayiwa who has 12.
TEAM NEWS:
For the second match in a row, Villa will have to play without Ivan Serubiri and youngster Travis Mutyaba, the duo failed to recover in time for the match.
Tabu Oryem limped off injured in the win against UPDF last week on Tuesday, the match also comes too soon for him.
Goal keeper Martin Elungat has had a long layoff and he too will be out.
Blacks Power hasn’t reported any injury updates
