Vipers will aim to narrow the gap at the top when they embark on a brief visit to face UPDF at Bombo in the only league game on Sunday.
Currently positioned third, the Venoms were overtaken by Kitara for second place.
In addition, they trail leaders BUL by seven points after the side eased past Wakiso Giants to strengthen their grip at the top.
Throughout this season, Vipers have struggled on the road, and have dropped five points in four away matches.
In their recent game, they secured a crucial win against URA at Kitende, responding well after a defeat to rivals KCCA at Lugogo.
