The StarTimes Uganda premier league reigning champions Vipers will host the league new comers, Paidha Black Angels in a match where the venoms seek to reclaim the top spot.
With a big support from the fans chanting from the start of the game to the end at the newly laid turf at St Mary’s stadium Kitende, Vipers hope to use the atmosphere to astonish the bottom Paidha.
Vipers is currently fourth placed with 15 points, same as KCCA and Bright Stars, just a point shy of surprise table leaders Mbarara City Football Club.
On the contrast, Paidha Black Angels is bottom placed with just 4 points fetched from 7 matches, same as SC Villa and Nyamityobora.
The Venoms last drew away to Express at Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium, they have been on a break for the international matches where a couple of their players were involved with the respective national teams (Uganda Cranes, Uganda Kobs and the Burundi U-23 team).
During the break, there was good and sad news for the Kitende based outfit.
A number of their players featured in the international games as Moses Waiswa and Tadeo Lwanga in action with the Uganda Cranes at home against Cape Verde and away to Nigeria.
Defenders Bashir Asiku and Geoffrey Wasswa as well as midfielder Duncan Sseninde were part of the Uganda Kobs team that embarrassingly got involved in the 2-1 aggregate loss to South Sudan in the CAF U-23 qualifier.
