Clash of the Titans: Vipers against BUL rescheduled
It's so early in the 2023/24 Uganda Premier League season to term Vipers SC's game against BUL FC as a title decider, but the meeting already promises fireworks.
The game has been pulled a day earlier for the local football fanatics, who couldn't wait for the two to wrestle it out.
Having initially been scheduled for Saturday, December 23, the match has been pulled to Friday, December 22, at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende floodlights.
It will be the second-placed hosts against the table leaders from the East, with the two only separated by a couple of points.
While BUL sits at the Apex with 26 points, Vipers occupy second with 24 after just eleven matches.
As the visitors will be keen on extending their lead to within five points, the hosts will, on the other hand, be eager to assume the summit with victory.
