· Wakiso Giants FC Vs SC Villa – Wakiso 4pm
· Vipers SC Vs URA FC – Kitende 7pm
Table leaders Vipers will have an opportunity to complete a rare double over URA when the two sides meet at Kitende on league resumption.
The Venoms, six-time champions won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Nakivubo with goals from Allan Okello and Milton Karisa.
The hosts ended the first round on high and victory here will see them open a four-point lead over second placed NEC who are not in action until Thursday when they host KCCA in the Lugogo derby.
Vipers could hand striker Isaac Ogwang his debut after joining from Police but returning midfielder Marvin Youngman will have to wait until next match as he serves his second match ban following a red card received against Express while he was still at Soltilo Bright Stars.
Derrick Ndahiro also serves his last of the two-match ban after he was sent off in the win over UPDF in the penultimate match of the first round.
The fixture marks the first time Alex Isabirye returns to Kitende since he quit the Venoms after guiding them to the league and cup double in 2023.
In case Vipers win, they would have completed a rare double over the tax collectors for the second consecutive season after they also won last season’s fixtures 2-0 home and away.
URA, 5th on the log with 24 points understand that victory over the hosts will trim the gap to seven points and probably get them back into title contention.

- The two sides have previously met 40 times with URA on top with 16 wins. [L11, D13]
