Express FC, fired up by their recent 5-2 rout of NEC, aim for a second consecutive victory when they host Vipers SC at the historic Wankulukuku Stadium.
Meanwhile, Vipers, still reeling from their 3-2 loss to BUL and the subsequent sacking of coach Leonard Neiva, desperately seek redemption in this crucial encounter.
Adding spice to the clash is the presence of former Vipers domestic double winning coach Alex Isabirye, now at Express, whose bitter departure from his former club promises an electrifying atmosphere.
Both teams, hungry for a win, are aware of the historical significance of this fixture – Vipers haven’t won at Wankulukuku against Express in their last four attempts.
Vipers, however, refuse to be cowed by the home advantage. Assistant coach Richard Wasswa acknowledges the pressure but believes his team is prepared.
“We’ve put in the work, and the players are mentally strong. We’ll face a motivated Express, but we have a plan to contain them and execute our strategy. We focus on the present, not the past.”
Beyond the headline clash, the Ugandan Premier League action continues with Wakiso Giants hosting SC Villa at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium, and Maroons welcoming Gaddafi to Luzira.
