Airtel Kitara vs Mbale Heroes Prediction: Kitara will secure maximum points

Uganda Premier League encounter at The Royals Park will see Airtel Kitara play Mbale Heroes. The two teams have been struggling heavily since the start of the season and will hope to right their wrongs. Let's preview this game and make predictions. 

Airtel Kitara held Vipers to a goalless draw the previous weekend and will hope to keep things running. However, this team has avoided defeat in consecutive games, defeating UPDF in a prior encounter, ending 4-0. In the meantime, Airtel Kitara lost to BUL, URA SC, and Bright Stars in previous games, conceding six goals and scoring one in that run. This season, Airtel Kitara have eight points from 10 matches, leaving them seated 14th in the league standings. 

Mbale Heroes won in their last league encounter against Bright Stars, ending 1-0. Cosia Waiswa's lone strike was the difference in that game, giving this side maximum points. However, Mbale Heroes' prior encounters to that win saw them go winless in seven games, losing five and drawing two. However, this team scored only five goals in ten matches this season, conceding 12. With 8 points from a possible 15 this season, Mbale Heroes sit 15th in the standings, two points ahead of bottom-placed Bright Stars. 

Mbale Heroes' try will not be enough in this road game. While the visiting team was brilliant the previous time out, I believe they will struggle so much this time, with Airtel Kitara expected to get their best performance. However, while the two teams' defensive record is poor, a bet on goals is worth betting on.
