- MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo 4pm
NEC host champions Vipers in a match that could end any of their faint title hopes.
The two sides lock horns at the MTN Omondi stadium, Lugogo with NEC in 6th place with 44 points, just five adrift of the leading pack that include Vipers who are on 49 points.
Hussein Mbalangu believes his side are still in the race and will give it everything to beat the Venoms.
“We are still in the race and we want to finish the league on a strong note so we can’t take any game for granted,” said Mbalangu.
“It was disappointing to throw away a lead in the last minute in the last game but that hasn’t taken away any motivation,” he added.
The hosts have Joseph Dhata back in the team after missing the 1-1 draw with Soltilo Bright Stars through suspension while Allan Mugalu also returns.
Vipers beat Express 1-0 in their last encounter and know that they must win at Lugogo to keep chances of defending their crown for a third consecutive season.
