Villa Revenge Agenda

By Daniel SaireSimba v SC VillaBITTER memories of losing two league matches in a row have come back to haunt champions SC Villa as they visit enterprising army-side Simba at Nakivubo today.Simba beat Villa 2-1 at Namboole during the second round of last season before Iganga repeated the damage three days later with a 3-1 at the Saza ground.Villa lost their first match of this season to Police on Friday and will have to use all caution to avenge against one of the sides that almost dented their run to the Nile Special Super League title last year.Villa’s strong point lies in Moses Basena, the man who led the Simba assault then but has since teamed up with Yugoslav tactician Micho Sredojevich at Villa Park.Their worry however, lies in the big list of injured first team players. Micho said that Hakim Magumba, and Nestroy Kizito were doubtful, while kingpin defender Timothy Batabaire is busy with examinations at Makerere University and Mike Mukiibi left recently for USA.“It is going to be a tough game and I need to use players who are fully fit to avoid mistakes that cost us points against Police,” Micho said.Simba coach Mike Mutebi said Villa was an industrious side but would ensure his players stop them through skillful play.Ends
