SC Villa's technical director Yusuf Kyeyune aka Chuni has said the Azam Premier League timetable is biased following Tuesday's 2-2 draw with URA FC.

He argued that it is difficult for a team to play two back to back away games against strong sides.

Villa, who are second on the table, shared spoils with URA on Tuesday after beating Vipers SC 2-1 three days earlier.

They trail table-toppers KCCA FC by three points, although that margin could widen if the reigning champions secure victory today against Sadolin Paints FC at Bugembe.

In the wake of Villa's draw in Lugazi, Kyeyune has vented his displeasure over the fixture.

"The fixture is biased and the makers of this fixture did it with intentions. How can you play Vipers away and then URA away?"

At the Mehta Ground, the Jogoos fell behind when Sam Ssekito put hosts URA in front in the 11th minute but leveled matters four minutes later through Ambrose Kirya.

The visitors took the lead for the first in game, thanks to Martin Kiiza 66th-minute strike to put Villa on course for a three-game winning streak.

But they could not hold on as Jimmy Kulaba equalized ten minutes before the final whistle to tie the game.

URA coach Kefa Kisaala said his side lack self-confidence which led to poor individual decision making.

"We need to work on our mental attitude. We dominated the game but players could make decisions which affected us because they feared to own responsibility.

"We need to sharpen our striking force ahead of the second round," he said.
