UGANDA PREMIER LEAGUE
The Date: November 22, 2024
The Contest: URA FC vs. Vipers SC
The Time: 7pm (Live on Fufa TV)
The Venue: Hamz Stadium
Following the conclusion of the international break, Vipers SC will be raring to continue their pursuit for the Uganda Premier League title when they visit URA FC at Hamz Stadium Nakivubo on Friday.
The game will present an opportunity for the Venoms to bounce back to winning ways, having drawn 1-1 with KCCA FC last time out, at the St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.

On the other hand, URA endured defeat in their most recent game, as they were beaten 2-1 by Maroons FC in Luzira.
Meanwhile, at the moment, while we sit second with 17 points, we trail leaders KCCA, who will earlier face NEC FC on Thursday, by one point, underlining the importance of the URA game.

URA, on the other hand, lie ninth on the 15-team log with 11 points garnered after eight matches.
Our assistant head coach, Fred Muhumuza, will be returning to a team that he managed as an assistant and interim head coach. He is wary of the threat they possess.

“URA is one of the teams in the league with history in Ugandan football. Good team with great managers and players that have vast experience.” explained Muhumuza.
“No hard feelings, it’s a club that gave me an opportunity as a very young coach which was a great experience. We expect a very competitive game with high intensity but it’s a job we have to do as we target maximum points against a top side away from home. We will have to be equal to their task and the boys are aware of the threat at hand.”

Meanwhile, last season, Vipers managed home and away victories against the Tax Collectors. In Kitende, the Venoms were 2-0 victors, courtesy of Eric Kenzo Kambale and Abdu Lumala.
We then picked another 2-0 win at URA’s backyard, thanks to goals from midfielders Karim Watambala and Moses Waiswa.
