High stakes games as Vipers make second visit to Kitara in a week

It will be top against the third in the Uganda Premier League as Kitara FC hosts Vipers in what promises pulsating action at the Masindi Stadium on Friday.

The Venoms, who are third with 42 points (22 games) are only two adrift of the Royals (23 games), the former's win will warrant a spot at the summit.

Vipers will thus ascend top of proceedings with 45 points should they manage victory over the current leaders.

The affair presents a repeat of Sunday's Stanbic Uganda Cup contest, which ended with Kitara hitting the semifinals via penalties after it had ended in a two-all stalemate.

Yunus Sentamu and Bright Anukani scored Vipers, while oldboy Paul Mucureezi netted for the hosts.

The game is also a repeat of the first round in the league, which the Venoms edged, courtesy of an Anukani brace, with Jude Semugabi scoring Kitara's consolation.

Vipers and Kitara have played thrice in the past in the league, with all games ending in victories for the Venoms.
