9 time winners SC Villa will hope to capitalise on Onduparaka’s bad run of form in the league when the two face off at the Green light stadium in Arua.

The 2016 Uganda cup finalist have undergone a turbulent time in the league, that has seen them lose 4 games on the bounce and consequently dropping them into the relegation mix.

To reach this stage, Onduparaka laboured to eject Big league side Luwero United by a slender 1-0 aggregate lead. Whereas SC Villa recovered from a first leg 1-0 defeat to overcome Ndejje University 3-1 on aggregate .
