- Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakiso 4pm
For the second in a row, Nikola Kavazovic will not be on the touchline for Vipers SC as they make a trip to Wakiso Giants on Thursday.
The Serbian who was suspended for the Villa game before the international break has not returned to training since then although he was expected to report last week on Thursday.
Reports coming out from Kitende indicate the tactician has been down with malaria while others suggest he has mutually parted ways with the Venoms.
At Wakiso, John ‘Ayala’ Luyinda will be the man in charge and faces his former immediate bosses in a fixture the six-time champions want to win to close gap on leaders KCCA.
They come into the game on the back of a morale boosting victory over SC Villa while their opponents saw their unbeaten start under Steven Bengo come to end with a defeat at UPDF.
The hosts are without several key players including Marvin Mukiibi, Alex Komakech, Rahmat Ssenfuka and William Luwagga Kizito.
There will be players facing ex-bosses on either side with the hosts in their ranks having James Alitho, Tom Masiko, David Bagoole and the injured Ssenfuka and Kizito while on the other end, right back Grant Matsiko and striker Kenneth Kimera played for the Purple Sharks before their move to Kitende.
