Vipers form and stats

Vipers, who have the most clean sheets (10) in Premier League, have been very solid at home in the Premier League so far, with 22 points collected from 8 matches (7-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. After failing to beat Mbarara City here at St. Mary's Stadium, Vipers has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

A good away victory last time out for Vipers, who won 4-2 against Proline (placed 16th). Before that, Vipers had a home game versus Kyetume which ended with a victory 1-0.

A goal frenzy last time out for Vipers, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Proline. Fun stuff to watch!

There will be little rest for Vipers after this match as they are travelling to Kajjansi United for a Uganda Cup game in only two days.

The Vipers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. Defensively Vipers have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

SC Villa form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Three has not been a lucky number for SC Villa as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Onduparaka match. SC Villa has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

SC Villa aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 189 league minutes without a goal. A. Kakomo was the last player to find the net.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Jinja SSS with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against URA wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The schedule is very tough for SC Villa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Uganda Cup game at Super Eagles is waiting in only two days.

SC Villa are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 9 games (in the league). 9 goals have been conceded by SC Villa in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: SC Villa - Vipers 0-0. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Vipers, 1 draw and 3 wins for SC Villa. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
