The round of 16 of the 49th edition of the Stanbic Uganda kicks off on Tuesday 14th March with two fixtures.

Vipers SC visit Wakiso Giants at Kabaka Kyabaggu Stadium in Alex Isabirye’s first game in charge since his appointment.

This will be the third meeting between the two sides this season, The two in the Uganda Premier League have all ended in stalemates.

Isabirye is ready for the pressure and task ahead of him but believes his new side has good players that can give good results,

“I just have to change a few things I think can make this club better than it is now I need challenges and I very well know to be a winner you have to always compete and my task is seeing that we get all the three points in each game the club has very good talented players I just have to change their mentality”

“We have spent only two days together with the players bit they know me and I know them we will just have to learn few things about each other”

Isabirye was the man at the helms of BUL when they defeated Vipers SC last year in Masindi 3-1 to emerge champions of the 48th edition.

The only Buganda Regional League side in the race Kiyinda Boys will visit Soltilo Bright Stars at Kavumba Recreation grounds in the first ever meeting between the two sides.

The overall two aggregate winners will progress to the quarter finals.
