•SC Villa Vs BUL – Wankulukuku, 4pm
•Buhimba Vs Express – Butema
•Vipers Vs URA – Kitende, 8pm
Uganda Premier League defending champions Vipers SC will look to move a step closer to retaining their crown when they host URA FC at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
The Venoms sit top of the table with 59 points, four ahead of second-placed KCCA, with four matches left to play.
Vipers have enjoyed an impressive campaign, remaining unbeaten on the pitch. Their only loss came via forfeiture against Kitara in a boardroom decision.
Having registered 17 wins and eight draws so far, the Kitende side know the job is not yet complete and will need to stay focused in the final stretch of the season.
In their previous league outing, Vipers needed a late equaliser from substitute Glodi Munsi Beyuku to secure a draw against KCCA at Lugogo — a result that further strengthened their title hopes.
The Venoms have also been dominant at home this season, with only SC Villa, NEC and Kitara managing to leave Kitende with a point.
When the two sides met earlier this season at Nakivubo, Vipers cruised to a 3-0 victory thanks to a Karim Watambala brace and a goal from Gusto Mulongo.
URA FC, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult campaign. The Tax Collectors sit 11th on the table with 25 points from 26 matches.
They head into the fixture without a win in their last six matches across all competitions, including their Uganda Cup defeat to SC Villa.
Last season, when URA visited Kitende, Vipers claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory courtesy of goals from Allan Okello and Enock Luyima.
Vipers remaining four fixtures:
May 8: URA (H)
May 12: Police (A)
May 19: Maroons (A)
May 23: Express (H(
