Struggling Villa will be visiting promising Arua Hill SC at the Barifa stadium in a rescheduled match that was postponed as Villa struggled to solve club management challenges.
Arua Hill are currently 7th on the Uganda Premier League (UPL) table, six points above the visitors.
The Kongolos’ are unbeaten in their last three fixtures with a goaless draw against Soltilo Bright Stars in Kavumba. Villa lost their most recent fixture to debutants Gaddafi FC (2-1).

Koukouras replaced Edward Kaziba and he has been in charge of eight league games, winning only two, two draws, and has lost to Wakiso Giants, BUL FC, Mbarara City and most recently Gaddafi FC.
