- Rwamwanja stadium, Kamwenge 4pm
Vipers make a long trip to Kamwenge to face newbies Kigezi HomeBoyz in a rescheduled fixture on Thursday November 12 aiming to win and trim the gap on the leading pack.
The champions are on 14 points from nine matches and sit 7th on the 18-team log, nine points behind BUL, who lead the standings after the same number of games played.
Ayala and his team will be keen to build on the 2-0 win over Lugazi that ended a three-match winless streak that included back-to-back defeats to URA and Mbarara City.
In Kigezi, they face an opponent riding high on confidence after securing their first victory of the season by beating neighbours Mbarara City at Rwamwanja last week.
The Gorillas, on four points from eight matches want a win to improve their tally and try to move away from the relegation monster early in the campaign.
Vipers will hope forwards Gusto Mulongo, Milton Karisa and Usama Arafat regain their form after firing blanks in the past four matches.
Youngster Abubaker Walusimbi is set to keep his place in the starting XI after impressing in the Lugazi match but Ayala has a decision to make on whether to keep Mulongo ahead of Kenneth Kimera who did well after coming with the Congolese forward enjoying a goal drought.
The hosts, managed by the experienced Kefa Kisala and Pius Ngabo will rely on Micheal Walaga for inspiration if they are to stun the champions.
