SUPL: URA, Vipers, Express to continue battle for top position.
Match-day 23 of the Startimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) is set to continue tomorrow with a sumptuous lineup of six (6) games, with a raging battle for top position between URA FC, Vipers SC, and Express FC, which looks set to go down to the wire.

The ‘Tax Collectors’ (URA FC) need a win against the ‘Cops’ (Police FC) to maintain top position in the standings for at least another Gameweek.
The Sam Simba coached side (URA) drew with Vipers SC in their last game, but are now looking to move their season’s tally to fifty four (54) points.
Vipers SC will visit a side that is in kind of a goal drought, that is, SC Villa, at Bombo playground at 4pm.

The ‘Red Eagles’ (Express) have a chance of climbing to the top of the table if they win against the army side (UPDF) and their title rivals in URA FC and Vipers SC fail to win their respective games.
