The URA & Vipers managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier League league table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
URA form and stats
5 victories, 5 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what URA have to build on here at Ndejje Uni - Luwero in the Premier League. After failing to beat Express FC here at Ndejje Uni - Luwero, URA has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
No payout for URA in their previous match, an away game at Jinja SSS that ended in defeat 0-3. Before that game, the 8-3 home victory against Nyamityobora.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for URA as they are travelling to their away game against Express FC in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
The URA fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. As for guarding their own goal, URA have only let in 5 goals at home.
Vipers form and stats
Vipers, who have the most clean sheets (13) in Premier League, have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 7-3-1 from 11 games.
Vipers delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against KCCA (placed 2nd) in their previous match; a Premier League game. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at BUL.
Vipers are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 11 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Vipers as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Vipers - URA 1-0. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: two wins for URA, two draws and three wins for Vipers. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: five games.URA missing players
