Debutants in the CAF Champions League group stages, Vipers SC will be having their last dance as they take on the Guinea-based club, Horoya Athletic Club today 31st March 2023 at the Stade du 26 Mars, Bamako, Mali at 7 PM.
This will be an opportunity for Vipers SC to collect their first win with hopes of signing out of the competition with a victory.
Whatever the result from this game, both sides won’t progress to the next stage, with Alex Isabirye’s Ugandan champions placed fourth on two points, two adrift of huffing and puffing third-placed Horoya.
Alex Isabirye’s side will have a chance to move to the third position with five points in case of a win, thus avoiding the wooden spoon in the club’s first-ever outing at this level.
Moroccan side Raja Casablanca and Tanzania decorated Simba SC, who are placed first and second with 13 and nine points respectively, have already made to the lucrative knockout round.
The first round played at the St Mary’s stadium, Kitende earlier this year ended in a barren stalemate where the hosts dominated the game but just couldn’t break the deadlock.
