Vipers SC and Kitara FC brace for Saturday’s FUFA Super Cup clash at Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo. The game marks the second silverware fight in Vipers’ pre-season campaign.
Head coach Denis Lavagne calls the team ready after six weeks of preparations. He says, “We played games in Cecafa and against Nairobi United so we are good.”
Lavagne admits Kitara’s physical style worries him. “They play direct long balls. We must fight for second balls and control the game,” he explains.
Kitara’s coach Wasswa Bbosa acknowledges the challenge. “After the FUFA Super 8, we fixed weaknesses. We aim to win against Vipers,” he states.
last season, Kitara went unbeaten in four meetings with Vipers, recording one win and three draws. This history makes the tie a must-watch.
The FUFA Super Cup result will shape Vipers’ launch in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. A win could signal early confidence ahead of Caf Champions League revival.
