LEAGUE: Uganda Premier League

DATE: Tuesday February 23, 2021

*Note: Fans registration for seasonal tickets is ongoing at the club offices

BUL FC will be eyeing victory in their crucial Uganda Premier League match against Vipers SC that will be played at St. Mary’s Stadium on Tuesday February 23 at 4PM

The Jinja City side are lying at the 13th place on the sixteen-team log with seven points after managing two wins and a draw from seven games so far, but, they hope to reboot their Uganda Premier League campaign by returning to winning ways against the Venoms that top the chart with 18 points.

Tuesday’s opponents are yet to lose a game this season and have won all their four games in their own backyard. BUL FC, since they gained promotion to the topflight league in 2011, has only won once, drawn on one occasion and lost seven times in their last nine visits to Vipers and has lost their last three away games this season.

However, the Edible Oil Manufacturers will this time not afford to give the Venoms even an inch and will be aiming to turn tables, disrupt the status quo and clobber their hosts in Kitende.
