Bang-in-form attacking midfielder Allan Okello has rallied his teammates to sweat and leave their all against the Jogoo.

Champions Vipers SC will be locked in a titanic clash with record holders SC Villa at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku on Tuesday, as both sides seek to further ascend on the Uganda Premier League log.

"I believe as the players, its time to wake up, fight for the badge and work harder on the pitch," Okello told the club media.

"It's all about the team picking up three points as we keep winning our games, because the table is tight," Okello summed.

While Vipers are third with 41 points, Villa sit fourth with 40 after 21 games, with victory for either side likely to impact the title challenge.

"We need to win our games, so I just ask the players to come in all, we keep fighting. Results are always made on the pitch, so, we just need to give 100%.

Vipers and Villa played out to a one-all stalemate in the first round at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.

Gavin Kizito and Patrick Paul Mbowa netted for the Jogoo and Venoms, respectively.

Last season at Wankulukuku, Villa smiled to an edgy 1-0 victory, courtesy of Charles Bbaale's sole strike.
