Vipers form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (55) in Premier League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses in the Premier League. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Vipers's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the URA game.

Vipers's previous game was their home loss versus Mbarara City (2-3). A huge disappointment for Vipers in their last match (vs Mbarara City). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

Preceding that game was the away victory against SC Villa with the score of 3-1.

A quick return to home after this game, as Vipers are hosting SC Villa in the Uganda Cup only three days away.

The Vipers manager E. Golola has got the team scoring on the road, with 28 away goals in 12 league matches. Vipers have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Vipers - Bright Stars 2-0. Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: zero - four - four (Bright Stars wins - draws - Vipers wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
