Uganda Premier League | Friday 6th March
Wakiso Giants vs Vipers SC
Vipers will widen their gap at top of the table to six when if they manage to walk away with victory on their trip to Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium.
The league leaders will look to capitalise on challengers, KCCA’s slump as they drew with Proline earlier this week. A win takes them six points clear heading into the international break.
Vipers come into this match at the back of a 5-0 victory against Maroons unlike Wakiso Giants who lost 1-0 away to Busoga United.
Bayo Fahad scored the only goal as the Venoms edged the Purple Sharks 1-0 at Kitende in the reverse fixture.
Wakiso Giants will do without Lawrence Bukenya and Yasin Mugume who are both out injured.
Defender, Hassan Wasswa Dazo has also been ruled out of the game due to domestic issues while Ayub Kisaliita is back from injury.
Loanees, Tom Masiko, Ibrahim Kiyemba and Duncan Sseninde are ineligible to face their parent club.
Vipers skipper, Halid Lwaliwa is a major doubt heading into this match as he is still in the sick bay while Farouk Musisi returned to full training but will need to pass a late fitness test.
Wakiso Giants is on 29 points in the 11th position while league leaders Vipers have 53 points on the log.
