Express vs URA SC Prediction: Express continue flying high

Hamz Stadium in Nakivubo will host the Uganda Premier League encounter between Express and URA SC. The previous meeting between these sides was in April, and Express secured maximum points. How will URA SC approach this game?

Express are coming off a league win over Kampala City and will hope to continue in that run. Express needed a 30th-minute Emmanuel Wasswa strike in that encounter to seal maximum points. In the meantime, Express have not lost their last five games, winning three of those encounters. In fact, Express lost only once in nine games, coming against Lugazi in the week six game, which ended 0-1. This season, the home side has 19 points from 11 games and sit 4th spot. In those games, Express scored twelve goals while conceding ten. 

URA SC settled for a 1-1 draw the previous time out against NEC and will hope for a win in that encounter. In that encounter, Godfrey Sekibengo's strike did put URA SC in the lead before the break, but a 70th-minute Paul Mucureezi strike denied them maximum points. In the meantime, URA SC have lost twice in their last five games, coming against Maroons and Vipers consecutively, ending 2-1 and 0-2. However, this side defeated Airtel Kitara and Wakiso Giants, ending 2-0 and 0-3. URA SC have 15 points this season from 11 matches, leaving them 9th in the standings.

Express consistently have shown they are ready to compete at a high level with strong back-to-back plays. While URA SC have been inconsistent, they have also shown good signs of play, but I do not see them having things easy. While URA SC have shown class, Express have also turned up in big games, especially with their performance against Kampala City the previous time out. Expect a close game, but both teams will score, while Express will secure a win.
