Arua Hill vs Maroons Prediction: Hosts struggles continue

At Paridi Stadium, Arua Hill and Maroons will face off in the upcoming round 12 of the Uganda Premier League. Neither team has managed to secure a victory in their last two matches leading up to this encounter. Let's delve into comprehensive previews below and formulate a prediction.

Arua Hill is coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss to URA SC in their recent away match. Despite taking an early lead with Safi Agu Mansoor scoring in the 6th minute, URA SC turned the tide with goals from Joseph Ssemujju and Ibrahim Wamannah in the 26th and 28th minutes. The second half witnessed a more dramatic turn of events, with Joseph Ssemujju completing a hat-trick to secure the victory for URA SC. As they approach the upcoming match, Arua Hill has now suffered three defeats in their last five games, and they currently occupy the bottom spot in the league standings.

Maroons recently secured a 1-1 draw against Vipers, marking their second consecutive draw with the same scoreline, following a similar result against Busoga. In the Vipers match, Fred Amaku gave Maroons the lead with a goal in the 34th minute, but a 51st-minute equalizer by Nilton Karisa for Vipers leveled the scores. Reviewing their last four matches, Maroons have maintained an unbeaten streak, winning two and drawing two during this period.

I anticipate Maroons taking control of the match, given Arua Hill's recent string of poor performances. Additionally, considering that both teams have been conceding goals in their recent outings, I expect a high-scoring affair with both sides finding the back of the net.
