Preview: Namboole Battle, Part I
BUL and Vipers are set to vie for the top spot when they clash in one of the two test games at the newly renovated Namboole.
The other match features KCCA and SC Villa, scheduled for 7pm EAT, aimed at evaluating the stadium ahead of CAF Approval.
Despite BUL being the designated home team, they won’t have the home advantage as they’ll travel 69km for the game.
This match holds significant implications for the title race, as both teams are tied on 46 points, trailing Kitara by two points.
With Kitara failing to secure a win against Mbarara City, the winner of the BUL-Vipers game will claim the top spot.
Notably, BUL defeated Vipers at their home ground in Kitende during the first round.
Additionally, Vipers have enjoyed extra rest days compared to BUL, who participated in the Uganda Cup over the weekend, drawing 1-1 with NEC FC.
