KCCA FC Manager Morley Byekwaso spoke with kccafc.co.ug ahead of this game and said,
We want to go all out and maintain the current form we have had this season. We know Villa have some young lads that are good on the ball and we have prepared well for them. This is a derby and games like these are never easy. So much anticipation and the magnitude of the game sometimes comes into play. I have tasked my players to manage the game very well and ensure we pick three points.
