National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Wakiso Giants or Vipers that keep their silverware dream alive.
This pitch has grass, which is not Vipers's familiar surface at their own pitch. When playing on grass Vipers have performed like this: Played 22 matches earning 13 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats with the goal production 38-20 (scored/conceded).
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
