Vipers SC are gearing up for the second half of the Ugandan Premier League season with their sights set on maintaining their position at the top of the table. The Venoms currently lead the standings with 34 points from 15 matches, holding a narrow one-point advantage over NEC FC. With 15 more games to go, every match is crucial as they push for another league title.
To strengthen their attack, Vipers brought in Isaac Ogwang from Police FC, a striker who had already scored six goals before making the switch. His addition adds firepower to an already potent attacking unit that includes Yunus Sentamu, Mohamed Salem, Gusto Mulongo, Kenneth Kimera, and Annest Akunda. With more depth in attack, coach John ‘Ayala’ Luyinda now has more options as he looks to increase the team’s goal tally.
So far, Vipers have been the most prolific side in the league, scoring 25 goals while conceding just nine. Their strong defensive record has been key to their dominance, ensuring they remain a tough side to break down. The balance between attack and defense has made them a formidable force, and they will be looking to maintain that consistency as they head into the next phase of the season.
The next challenge for Vipers is their upcoming match against URA FC on February 11, 2025. A win in this fixture would be a massive boost for their title ambitions, keeping them ahead of NEC FC and extending their lead at the top. With their new attacking reinforcement and solid squad depth, Vipers are well-equipped to continue their push for the championship.
