UPL 2024-25 | Fixture
- Mbale Heroes vs URA
- Vipers vs SC Villa
Vipers SC will be without head coach Nikola Kavazovic for their crucial clash against SC Villa at St Mary’s Stadium on Saturday evening.
Kavazovic has been handed a one-week suspension, leaving assistant coach John ‘Ayala’ Luyinda in charge.
The Serbian tactician, who has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the club’s recent performances, acknowledged the suspension on social media.
“I will serve my sentence before returning to take the title.” He also expressed regret for his actions and apologized to the Vipers faithful.
Vipers have struggled to find their footing in the current league campaign, accumulating just four points from their first three matches.
A 3-1 defeat to NEC was followed by a morale-boosting 3-0 win over Express, but a goalless draw against Lugazi FC highlighted their inconsistency.
With their arch-rivals KCCA FC currently leading the standings with 10 points, Vipers are eager to secure a victory against SC Villa to keep their title aspirations alive.
In their last 12 league encounters, Vipers have a slight edge over SC Villa with five wins, three losses, and four draws.
