On Tuesday night at St. Mary’s Stadium in Kitende, Uganda Premier League leaders Vipers SC will host URA FC in their opening match of the second round. With 34 points in the first round, the Vipers were at the top of the UPL Standings.
The Venoms will want to defeat the Tax Collectors, who are led by Alex Isabirye Musongola, their former head coach. In November of last year, Vipers defeated Nakivubo Stadium 2-0 in their first-round encounter.
Since losing to NEC FC 3-1 on the first day of the match, the Kitende-based team has also gone undefeated.
With 24 points thus far this season, URA FC sits in fifth place on the list. They defeated Police FC 1-0 to end their first round. Team Updates Due to suspensions, Vipers SC will be without Derrick Ndahiro and newcomer Marvin Youngman. For Vipers captain Milton Karisa, who is currently recuperating from a muscle injury, the game comes too soon.
A new signer Yunus Sentamu is totally fit, and Isaac Ogwang is in the running for his Vipers debut. Head to Head URA FC had an advantage in the 40 previous games between the two teams, winning 16 of them and losing 11 to Vipers.
