Masindi Municipal stadium, 3pm
Kitara are set to host Vipers at Masindi Municipal stadium in the biggest clash of the Stanbic Uganda Cup quarter finals with either side eager to reign supreme.
Brian Ssenyondo will think about not failing to win for a third time in all competitions and hopes his side bounces back.
“If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best,” said Ssenyondo. “Tough game against defending champions but we need to bounce back after dropping five points in the last two games in the league,” he added.
“It won’t be easy but I think we shall go to Masindi and get the result we want.”
With a capacity crowd expected to fill Masindi, Richard Wasswa the man in charge of Vipers isn’t bothered.
“The crowd does nothing on us because my players are used to such and can play under such conditions,” said Wasswa.
“We know it is going to be a tough game that gives no second chance so we have to be careful and give it everything it deserves to go through.
“The players are excited and motivated to play this game which gives us confidence.”
The hosts are expected to miss key players Crispus Kusiima, Brian Aheebwa, Arthur Kiggundu and George Ssenkaaba among others but still have quality back up options.
Ashraf Mandela returns to the Venoms squad after he missed the goalless draw at Villa.
Hot Stat: Vipers have won the past three meetings albeit in the league including this season.
