Vipers target quick turnaround in visit to URA

Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC will be raring to bounce back to winning ways when they visit four-time winners URA FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo on Saturday.

The Venoms suffered an agonizing 1-0 defeat to KCCA FC last time out, but will now be keen to mount a quick response against the Tax Collectors.

Meanwhile, URA endured defeat in their most recent game as well, as they were thrashed 3-0 by Kitara FC.

The game will present a chance to Vipers to close the gap at the top, as they currently sit fifth with 35 points in 19 games.

While Vipers have played three games fewer, they still trail leaders Kitara by eight points, underlining the importance of the URA game.

URA, on the other, sit eighth on the 16-team log with 31 points garnered in 21 matches.

The Venoms were 2-0 victors in the first round at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende, courtesy of Erick Kambale and Abdu Lumala.

Lumala since departed the club for professional ranks in Croatia at top-tier outfit Slaven Belupo Koprivnica.
