Overview:
Since then, Vipers have won seven of the eight meetings [D1] including a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo.
Limping URA make a trip to Kitende to face table leaders Vipers, seeking to secure safety following a turbulent campaign.
Hussein Mbalangu’s men are on 25 points, nine above the relegation zone and with the league in its final bend, their safety isn’t guaranteed yet.
They face a desperate Vipers side aiming to re-open a seven-point gap at the top after their lead was trimmed to four points by KCCA’s emphatic 3-0 win over Maroons on Thursday.
The Venoms, unbeaten on the field of play, will be favourites against Mbalangu’s side, which is winless in over nine competitive matches and lost the Uganda Cup semi-final first leg at home to Villa.
URA have also not tasted victory against Vipers in over eight encounters, with their last triumph against the Kitende-based side coming in 2021 when Joachim Ojera double scored a brace at St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende.
Since then, Vipers have won seven of the eight meetings [D1], including a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture at Hamz stadium, Nakivubo.
URA could unleash former Vipers players Moses Waiswa and Rahmat Ssenfuka against their former pay masters, but will hope forwards Bruno Bunyaga and Fred Amaku are in fine form.
Jack Ivan Minnaert could again miss Enock Luyima at left back, with Derrick Ndahiro the successor facing former bosses.
