Villa vs Kampala City Prediction: Visitors could take shocking control

Mutesa II Stadium Wankulukuku is set to host the round 12 Uganda Premier League action between Villa and Kampala City. Let's delve into the match previews and make a prediction for this encounter.

Villa is coming off a 1-0 home victory against Gadaffi in their last outing, and as they head into this contest, they will aim for a similar result. In recent matches, Villa has displayed a strong defensive performance, going six matches without conceding a goal. Among these, they won four matches, and two ended in draws. In the current season, Villa has accumulated 19 points, scoring 16 goals while conceding 9.

Kampala City bounced back to winning ways last weekend with a convincing 3-0 victory over Bright Stars. Arafat Usama's first-half goal gave Kampala City the lead, and a more balanced performance in the second half saw Muhammad Shaban score twice, sealing the victory. The visitors have now secured three wins in their last five matches, consistently finding the back of the net in each of their last five outings.

Villa has indeed been a formidable side this season, evident from their impressive unbeaten streak. On the other hand, Kampala City, despite showing signs of improvement, has struggled with inconsistency. While the visitors might face challenges, considering the unpredictability of previous encounters, I lean towards supporting Kampala City to secure a win in what is expected to be a tough match. Additionally, goals are anticipated from both sides in this encounter.
