Villa vs Police Prediction: This match could go either way

Mutesa II Stadium Wankulukuku will host the Uganda Premier League encounter between Villa and Police. The previous time these two teams faced, they settled for a goalless draw at full-time. How will they approach this game?

Villa played Lugazi the previous time out, and they settled for a 1-1 draw. Charles Lwanga put Villa in the lead in the 14th minute in that encounter, but Abdul Kalanzi's 55th-minute strike denied them maximum points. However, Villa failed to win any of their last two games but had two wins in their previous five. In that run, this team lost to Express and NEC FC while picking wins over UPDF and Wakiso Giants. This season, Villa have 15 points from 11 matches, scoring 23 goals while conceding 14. 

Police are on a run of unbeaten games and will have high hopes in this road game. In their last encounter, Police secured a 2-1 hard-fought victory, thanks to two first-half goals from Isaac Ogwang and Brian Obedi's strikes. In the meantime, that win extended Police's unbeaten run to five games, drawing three and winning two. In those matches, this side scored six goals while conceding four. This season, Police have 16 points from 11 games, as they sit 6th spot in the standings. 

Villa are well favoured in this game, but I do not see them having an easy task. While Police are playing well lately, their poor offensive strength could be an issue to deal with despite the fact they have been brilliant defensively. Take Villa as the favourite in this game, as they have a better offensive record, while both teams are expected to score.
