Vipers SC will take their title hunt to the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo when they visit KCCA FC, in a StarTimes Uganda Premier League showdown, slated for Sunday.
The Venoms will dive into the fray as table leaders, as they have garnered 37 points in the 16 games played so far. We sit one point ahead of runners-up NEC FC, who play Police FC on the same day.
Meanwhile, KCCA occupies fourth on the log, having accumulated just 24 points in the 16 matches played. The Kasasiro Boys are 13 points adrift of our tally thus far.
In their most recent engagements, Vipers were comfortable 2-0 victors over URA FC, courtesy of Allan Okello and youngster Enock Luyima. On the other hand, KCCA suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of NEC.
When the two sides met in the first round at the St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, it ended in a one-all stalemate in what was a tense affair. Skipper Milton Karisa netted for Vipers, before Ashraf Mugume’s late leveler.
Vipers edge KCCA in the head-to-head in the Uganda Premier League, with the latter on 15 victories against the former’s 14, with nine ties ending in draws.
