STARTIMES UGANDA PREMIER LEAGUE

The Contest: Vipers SC vs. BUL FC
The Time: 7pm
The Venue: St Mary’s Stadium
It will be a battle for top-spot in the Uganda Premier League as Vipers SC welcome BUL FC at the St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende floodlights on Friday.
The Venoms will assume the summit by a point should they manage victory against the current table leaders, who are 26 points.

We enter tomorrow’s fray unbeaten in the league at home in over two years, and we hope to keep the impressive run going.
Vipers also come into the game off the back of a one-all stalemate to Maroons FC at Luzira Prisons last week.

Our last league defeat this season came over a month back, a 3-1 loss to KCCA FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo.
When the Venoms host BUL tomorrow, it will be the 26th time both teams are meeting in 12 years.

Looking at the journey statistically, the Venoms are ahead having won 17 times, drawn on six occasions and lost just two, scoring 35 goals against 16 in the previous 25 league encounters between the two clubs.
