Champions Vipers host giants URA under the floodlights in a fixture that could be missed by star players.
Both teams have national team players who return from international matches less than 12 hours to the game and the coaches may opt to do away with them.
Jack Komakech, Rogers Torach, Yunus Sentamu, Bright Anukani and Milton Karisa could all miss out for Vipers with Hudu Mulikyi missing out for David Obua’s URA.
David Obua has highlighted the importance of the game and believes preps have been well.
“We have tried to prepare well although not entirely with all boys since some were with the national team and some with their Fufa Drum teams,” he stated.
“But the target to go win three points and we can’t have an excuse,” he added.
Former Vipers prodigy Hassan Kalega wants the team to win for Obua. “The last few results have been disappointing but we want to win again,” he stated. “We are playing a very tough team and must do well but we want to give our new coach his first three points,” he added.
In the last 22 league meetings, URA hold edge with 7 wins, 6 defeats and 9 draws.
