FUFA Super 8 winners BUL FC will be aiming for maximum points as they take on Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende, on Friday.
BUL head coach Abbey Bogere Kikomeko is raving and has asserted his team won't settle for anything less than three points.
It's a top-of-the-table clash as BUL sits at the apex with 26 points, while the Venoms occupy second with 24.
"We're playing a team which knows its pitch very well, but we're coming to play, and we want maximum points," Kikomeko told the club media.
He further highlighted how his team is not intimidated by night football under the floodlights, underlining their readiness to battle.

The Venoms will head straight to the summit by a point should they manage a victory against the current table leaders, who are 26 points.
"We're prepared. Much as it's under floodlights, I don't see any difference of playing at around 7pm and at 4pm," Kikomeko said.
"The boys are prepared, and they're going to give us what it calls for in that game. Floodlights won't be an issue at all."
