Jorge Da Costa’s men are enjoying their best form of the season having enjoyed a 5 match winning run.

They will go top above SC Villa if they manage to beat a very hard to beat Maroons side who also have a chance of moving to 4th should they edge their visitors.

Maroons Fc are one of the sides in the league with the meanest defences alongside SC Villa and KCCA as the teams to have only succumbed to 2 defeats this term.

It’s however imperative to note that the previous 7 meetings between the two sides have seen Vipers beat their hosts on 5 occasions and only drawing twice, and this looks like a Vipers win if records are to be relied upon. The first round fixture saw Yayo Lutimba cancel out Solomon Walusimbi’s first half strike.

Daniel Mzee Serunkuuma is a man on fire fresh from being crowned the Fortebet February player of the month after scoring 3 goals in 3 of the appearances he has made for the Kitende based side since joining from Express FC.

Despite having one of the best defences, Maroons struggle especially in the final quarter of the pitch and they will have to be in their best form if they are to break their hoodoo against Vipers.

There has not been any reported absentees in Mwebaze’s side, neither do they have any suspensions. The squad is at full house and raring to go.

Vipers on the other hand are boosted by the return of striker Tonny Odur and experienced left back Dan Birikwalira, but Taddeo Lwanga, Moses Waiswa and Brian Nkuubi are sidelines through injury. Ismael Watenga is a long time absentee which gives James Alitho a chance between the sticks.
