Every call they make could tip the balance in a game where the first leg ended goalless, leaving everything to be decided in this leg.

George Olemu (Referee): The man in the middle, George Olemu, will be under the microscope. His experience will be crucial in managing the game’s tempo and making key decisions.

Okello Dick -Fourth Official : Okello Dick will be the backup plan, ready to step in if needed.

Kitara FC comes into the match having lost their two previous outings against NEC FC and Express FC, with goalkeeping being a major concern. The squad will welcome back suspended goalkeeper Meddie Kibirige, a move that has boosted their confidence.

Coach Wasswa Bbosa has fired up his troops, declaring, “We haven’t been at our best lately in the league, but now we’re fully focused on the Stanbic Uganda Cup. It won’t be easy at their fortress, but we’re boosted by our first‑choice goalkeeper’s return and are ready to give our absolute best. Our target is clear: reach the final and win it.” via Kitara FC’s website.

Vipers SC, on the other hand, are eager to snap out of a slump after drawing their last four Uganda Premier League matches and will be looking to return to winning ways.
