In their last two meetings, they have conceded six goals in tame showings, but now in a former St Mary\u2019s Stadium \u2018insider\u2019 Geoffrey Wasswa, the Jogoos suddenly feel reassured.<\/p>\n

Wasswa says victory at Vipers fortress is a \u2018mission possible\u2019 for a Villa side that edged Kyetume 1-0 in the league in their last game for their first win in their new jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go into this match with a winning mentality and we believe we can make it. A lot has changed,\u201d Wasswa said.<\/p>\n

The versatile defender, who was jettisoned out of Fred Kajoba\u2019s side at the start of the season, was suspended for SC Villa\u2019s 3-1 loss to the Venoms at Bombo a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n

The nine-time Uganda Cup winners welcome back defender Garvin Kizito from suspension but will miss skipper Asuman Harishe, who has been banned by the club for speaking to the media about his plight.<\/p>\n

Coach Edward Kaziba is also without Andrew Kiwanuka, Goffin Oyirwoth, Abdallah Salim and Benson Muhindo but the calm gaffer remains optimistic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve prepared well for this game. We can\u2019t afford to lose three on the bounce to Vipers. Uganda Cup is our only chance to win silverware this season,\u201d he said..<\/p>\n
