Vipers SC, leading the Uganda Premier League, gear up for a crucial match against UPDF with high hopes of securing a victory to solidify their position.

Vipers SC looks to extend their unbeaten streak against UPDF in their upcoming faceoff at Bombo Barracks.

Captain Milton Karisa and top goal scorer Allan Okello set to lead Vipers SC in their quest for maximum points against UPDF.

With only one win in their last five matches, UPDF faces a tough challenge against the formidable Vipers SC.

In addition to the Vipers-UPDF clash, BUL and Lugazi are set to ignite the Najjembe derby in a thrilling showdown.

In the upcoming fixture of the Uganda Premier League, Vipers SC, currently perched at the top of the table with 28 points, are poised to face UPDF at Bombo Barracks in a match that holds great significance as the first round nears its end.

Vipers SC, under the leadership of John Ayala and Fred Muhumuza, are well aware that a victory in this crucial match will ensure they maintain their top spot in the league standings, at least until the next match day rolls around.

Having maintained an unbeaten record against UPDF in their last 14 encounters in the premier league, Vipers SC exudes confidence as they seek to put an end to the hosts’ undefeated streak at home this season, a feat they believe is within their grasp.

Fueling optimism through resilience and victory on the road

Captain of Vipers SC, Milton Karisa, expressed the team’s readiness for the challenge ahead, emphasizing their determination to continue their impressive form and secure maximum points at Bombo.

The team’s successful outings at challenging venues such as Kakyeka, Kavumba, Mbale, and Wakissha have further fueled their optimism for the upcoming match.

The dynamic duo of Karisa and Allan Okello, the league’s top goal scorer with 10 goals to his name, are poised to pose a significant threat to UPDF’s defense, particularly to Bernard Muwanga and his backline, on the day of the showdown.

On the flip side, UPDF, currently positioned 10th on the league table with 17 points, has been struggling with just one win in their last five matches, setting the stage for a daunting task against the formidable Vipers SC.

The intriguing dynamics of matches at Bombo Barracks

Despite Vipers SC’s impressive track record against UPDF, with 10 wins and 4 draws in their last 14 encounters, it is worth noting that four of those draws have occurred at the Bombo Barracks, adding an element of unpredictability to the upcoming clash.

In a parallel matchup on the same day, football enthusiasts can look forward to the electrifying Najjembe derby between BUL and Lugazi, promising an intense battle on the field.
