The Uganda Premier League fixture between defending champions Vipers SC and Kigezi HomeBoyz will now be played during the November international break after the encounter was brought forward to Thursday, November 12.

The match will take place at Rwamwanja Stadium in Kamwenge, having initially been scheduled for Matchday Two before being postponed to allow Vipers to participate in the CAF Champions League qualifiers.

The fixture was subsequently rescheduled for Saturday, December 5, but a request from Vipers prompted a further change, bringing the meeting forward by more than three weeks.

The adjustment comes at a time when both sides are looking to build momentum following their recent league outings.

Kigezi HomeBoyz head into the encounter on the back of their maiden Uganda Premier League victory, having edged Mbarara City 2-1 to finally register their first three points in the top flight.

The result provided a timely boost for the newly promoted side as they seek to establish themselves in the division.

Vipers, meanwhile, will travel to Kamwenge after returning to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Lugazi.

That result was particularly important for head coach John Ayala Luyinda, who registered his first victory since taking charge of the Venoms.

Vipers have won four of their nine league matches so far and will be keen to use the rearranged fixture to strengthen their position as they pursue another league title.
