SC Villa will visit Uganda Police FC in their quest to an 8 match winless streak that stretches back to start of round two.
They had started off on a high when they beat MYDA 2-1 in Tororo but have not tasted victory since then.
They have followed that win with 4 defeats and 4 draws and thus picking only 4 points out of a possible 24.
Losses to KCCA at Lugogo, Onduparaka in Arua, Mbarara city at Kakyeka and Vipers at Bombo, were followed with draws to BUL, Express, URA and Soltilo Bright Stars.
