Vipers Vs Express – St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende 4pm Live on Azam TV
Pressure is the right word for both Vipers and Express who face off in arguably their biggest game of the season.
The two ‘giants’ face off on Tuesday at St. Mary’s stadium, Kitende with either seeking maximum points to keep their season objectives alive.
The hosts want a win to keep their lead at the top while the visitors want to escape relegation woes going into the final day.
Daniel Sserunkuma has described the game as a final but has no mercy against his former bosses who he quit in January after scoring six goals.
“It’s like a Cup final for us,” he said. “But we are not under pressure like many think,” he added.
The dreadlocked forward will be tasked alongside Milton Karisa and Erisa Sekisambu to look for goals while Michael Birungi will be the man to the job for the visiting Red Eagles.
Top of the table Vipers with 59 points won the reverse fixture 2-1 at Wankulukuku and a similar result will mean they stay in charge of their destiny going into the final day.
Express are third from bottom with 28 points and a win will all but guarantee safety.

The Venoms have no injury concerns and the coaches will be spoilt for choice to decide who will make the match day squad.
Express duo, Joseph Semujju and Alfred Leku are ineligible to face their parent side since they are on loan.
