Preview: Vipers Seek Return To Winning Ways
Vipers target maximum points as they welcome Bright Stars under Kitende floodlights, with an aim to stay in contention with league leaders Kitara and BUL.
Currently third, eight points behind leaders Kitara, who have played three more games, Vipers seek to rebound after two winless matches.
They required penalty shootouts to overcome regional league side Rugarama FC in the Uganda Cup.
Their last league match against Gaddafi saw numerous missed chances in a goalless draw at Kitende.
Meanwhile, Bright Stars, yet to secure an away league victory this season, come into this on the back of a 1-1 draw against Express at Kavumba.
Bright Anukani and Karim Watambala scored the goals as Vipers beat Bright Stars 2-0 at Kavumba in the first round.
