•Kigezi Homeboyz Vs Vipers – Rwamwanja, 4pm
Vipers SC will hope to close the gap on Uganda Premier League leaders BUL FC when they face Kigezi HomeBoyz at Rwamwanja Stadium in a rescheduled fixture.
The defending champions are seventh on the table with 14 points from nine matches, nine behind BUL, who have played the same number of games.
A victory would reduce that deficit to six points and offer Vipers an opportunity to move closer to the leading pack.
The Venoms head into the rescheduled fixture following a 2-0 victory over Lugazi FC, which ended a three-match winless run that included consecutive defeats against URA FC and Mbarara City.
Princewill Biweribo Tarabina and Abubakali Walusimbi scored late goals as the Venoms finished it late.
That, was the first win for the Venoms under coach John Ayala Luyinda, coming off back to back defeats against Mbarara City and URA FC.
Ayala was upgraded to head coach from Assistant after the club parted ways with coach Denis Lavagne.
With the title race beginning to take shape, Vipers cannot afford further slip-ups if they are to defend their crown.
Victory will see Vipers displace Police in sixth place, with Matia Lule’s side currently on 15 points – Just a point above Vipers.
However, Kigezi HomeBoyz will not be an easy opponent. The newcomers registered their first victory in the top flight last week, beating Mbarara City at Rwamwanja Stadium to move to four points from eight matches.
The hosts will be keen to build on that breakthrough, while Vipers will need to maintain the attacking improvement shown against Lugazi to secure maximum points.
