Uganda Premier League (UPL) title holders Vipers SC will today, Friday play host to rivals SC Villa under the floodlights at St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende.
It’s one of the biggest matches in the top tier division with both sides having enjoyed success in the recent past.
Vipers who are on seven points come into the game unbeaten in three rounds while Villa overcame a bad start in defeat to current log leaders Kitara to pick points off NEC and one off Maroons.
Former Express FC title wining forward Eric Kambale could make his debut against the Jogoos in attack alongside Yunus Sentamu and skipper Milton Karisa which will be a huge test to the Villa defence manned by Internationals Gavin Kizito and Kenneth Ssemakula.
Villa also have promising Charles Lwanga, Ivan Bogere and Patrick Kakande with the ability to breach the Vipers backline of Livingstone Mulondo, Murushid Jjuuko and company.
