URA Vs Vipers – Arena of Visions, Ndejje University – Bombo (4 PM)
As the Uganda Premier League takes the final bend, different clubs are targeting positive results to ensure genuine objectives and finish strongly.
Table leaders Vipers visit fourth placed Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) at the Arena of Visions in Ndejje University, Bombo on Friday, 21st February 2020.
It is one of those many games that will surely decide the destiny of Vipers in the quest for their fourth league crown.
Coming to match day 23, 16 points separate the table leaders (Vipers with 50 points) from fourth on the bottom URA.
These two clubs did not win in the immediate past respective league match on Tuesday.
Whereas Vipers played to a home goal-less draw with KCCA at the St Mary’s Stadium – Kitende, URA were humiliated 3-0 away by a 10 man Busoga United at the Mighty Arena in Jinja.
The tax collectors will therefore have to lift their spirits to avoid a successive slip, moreover at their own back yard.
Team URA is missing hard working midfielder Ivan “Kojja” Ntege. With James Alitho off for greener pastures in Zambia, Nafian Alionzi will still be maintained in goal ahead of youngster Samuel Mwaka.
The strength of the URA team lies upon the offensive midfielders Shafik Kagimu, Saidi Kyeyune, Ivan Sserubiri, Mikidadi Ssenyonga and wide-men Michael Birungi as well as Joackim Ojera.
