LWEZA VS SIMBA – MUTESA II STADIUM, WANKULUKUKU STADIUM (LIVE ON 102.1 FUFA FM)

It will be a fixture of the top facing the bottom placed. Rock bottom Entebbe only managed to pick their 3rd victory of the campaign with a 2-0 home win against Lweza last Friday.

Contrastingly, Vipers lost their maiden game since the league kicked off on 19th September 2014 to boggy side, Rwenshama at Nakivubo stadium.

The current table leaders lost their unbeaten record to surprise package, Rwenshama last Friday in a 1-2 fixture that was also shown live on Azam Television.

Whereas Vipers boost of several Uganda Cranes internationals in Miya Farouk, Kezironi Kizito, and Goal keeper, Isma Watenga,

Entebbe F.C will not point on a distinguished star player but, dwell on an unquestioned bed of team work.

Strikers Alosious Lubega, Nana Natabanzi, Dan Ssewava and veteran defenders, Azizi Mugonza are the key pillars for Richard Makumbi’s coached side.

Another slip up for Vipers will be a very big blow as regards the title chase, since their first league accolade in the 2009/10 season.
