Kampala. Kansai Plascon coach Anjelo Lonyesi is hoping to use Vipers’ Friday league excursions to his advantage when the two meet today in the last quarterfinal of this season’s Stanbic Uganda Cup.
The Venoms come into this game on the back of another vital 3-2 win over title rivals KCCA on Friday but Lonyesi whose side is on a four game winning run including Thursday’s 2-0 win over Greater Masaka in the Big League spoke with defiance.
“We shall employ man to man tactics because when you use that they tend to fear. So we shall be physical because they will be a bit tired from Friday ,” he said during the pre-match press conference.
He will not be shot of experience either with former topflight league players
