“We are set for the clash and the boys are aware that we need victory. We intend to approach the game with the best attitude and playing under floodlights will not be an excuse,” noted Golola, whose side came out 3-1 winners in the last visit to SC Villa at Namboole.

The record 16-time champions will have no suspended Moses Kigundu and impressive U20 captain Garvin Kizito is likely to fill the void in the center back. SC Villa are second on the table with 10 points, 2 behind leaders BUL FC that beat Maroons 2-0 at home on Tuesday Venoms are 6th on log.
