A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Vipers fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Maroons's 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Vipers form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at St. Mary's Stadium as Vipers, who have the most clean sheets (13) in Premier League, have scored 13 goals to get 26 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 8-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager E. Golola led his Vipers to a defeat in the Premier League match away at URA. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at St. Mary's Stadium. Before that, Vipers drew at home versus KCCA.
Vipers has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Vipers have only let in 4 goals at home.
Maroons form and stats
Maroons have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-3-6 (11 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Maroons manager, as the last three away games were defeats. Recent form does not give Maroons much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Vipers will be a tough nut to crack.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Jinja SSS with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Wakiso Giants's place.
Maroons have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Maroons have conceded 19 goals in their away games.
