The Uganda Premier League title race heats up as leaders Vipers SC host Lugazi at Kitende. Vipers are under immense pressure after dropping points in back-to-back draws, allowing rivals KCCA FC to close the gap to just two points. The reigning champions are desperate for a win to maintain their cushion at the summit.

Lugazi, sitting in mid-table, will be a tough nut to crack. They enter this game with high morale following a cup victory over Police FC and a recent league win against UPDF. However, when these two sides met earlier this season in Najjembe, Vipers secured a 2-1 victory. With the depth of their squad and the urgency of the title race, Vipers are expected to use their home advantage to complete the season double over the newcomers.
