Saturday December 30, 2023 fixtures
- Express vs Vipers – Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku
- Wakiso Giants vs SC Villa – Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakiso

Richard Wasswa will take charge of the Vipers when they visit Express at Wankulukuku on Saturday.
The former assistant to Edward Golola, a title winning coach in 2015 replaces Leonard Leiva who was sacked early this week but on interim.
Vipers lost 3-2 to leaders BUL and any more defeat will see them far behind the leaders in the title race.
“I always tell my players that you can’t change the past,” said Wasswa in reference to the defeat to BUL.

“We face a well-motivated side after their last 5-2 win but if we stick to our principles, play our game and give everything, we shall win,” he added.
Former Venoms coach Alex Isabirye will be desperate to prove a point against his former pay masters who bitterly parted with him at the end of last season despite claiming a historic league and cup double for them.
Eric Kambale, Daniel Mzee Sserunkuma, Martin Kizza and Murushid Jjuuko all could line up against their former team.
Vipers currently lie 3rd, eight points behind leaders while Express are 9th with 16 points.
Elsewhere, Villa visit Wakiso Giants at Kabaka Kyabaggu while Maroons will be at home against tricky Gaddafi at Luzira.
