Vipers are currently in the very form and always venomous at home and it remains to be seen how Gaddafi, coached by Mubarak Wamboya, a former staff at Kitende handles that venom.
The trio of Yunus Sentamu, Ceaser Manzoki and Milton Karisa who combined to win the game at KCCA will again be the key to unlocking the Jinja based side defence.
Match Facts
The only previous meeting between the two sides was won by Vipers 3-1 in Jinja – Karisa brace and Bright Anukani free-kick. Jamaldine Buchochera scored for Gaddafi.

Morley Byekwaso doesn’t believe the title race is over despite a twelve-point gap between KCCA and leaders Vipers SC.
The KCCA gaffer said this in a pre-match presser ahead of the visit to third-placed BUL FC who will overtake them in case of the Kasasiro fall at Bugembe.
“If the title race was over, then Vipers would be declared champions by now,” he started. “For us, the focus is winning our remaining six games and seeing what happens at the end of the season,” he added.
In the game against BUL FC, Byekwaso expects a tough game against a side on form but is adamant of getting a good result.
“We face a very good side on form but we are adamant we have the quality to go there and win.”
The visitors are without three forwards in Sadat Anaku (suspension), Charles Lwanga (schools games) and Brian Aheebwa (injury) and this gives Davis Kasirye a chance to lead the line.
The hosts who are 3rd with 44 points, two behind KCCA will hope forwards Karim Ndugwa, Ibrahim Nsimbe and Richard Wandyaka are in fine form in the afternoon.

Questions for Kibuli, Kitende on the opening day of USSSA football

Both Kibuli and Kitende, who share 20 national trophies, almost ended their opening games in tears.
But Ali Muyinda, Iki-Iki’s coach, made tactical switches introducing pacy wingers who finally overpowered the Kitende defenders for an equalizer with five minutes to play. For the remainder of the game, Kitende lived dangerously as the fans sided with the minnows.
