Kampala City vs Busoga Prediction: KCCA expected to keep their guard on

The Phillip Omondi Stadium is set to host the round 22 Uganda Premier League match between Kampala City and Busoga. In the first leg encounter, Busoga emerged victorious at home. Can the hosts secure a revenge win in this upcoming fixture?

Kampala City showcased their peak performance in their previous outing before the international break, securing a notable victory against Vipers on the road in a 0-1 match. In that encounter, a late-minute penalty expertly converted by Mustafa Kizza proved to be all Kampala City required to claim all three points, despite numerous missed opportunities and solid defensive displays. Heading into this upcoming game, Kampala City has managed victories against NEC FC and Express in their last four matches, with their sole defeat being a recent 0-1 loss at home to Airtel Kitara.

The inconsistent Busoga side enters this game with hopes of correcting their recent poor performances. In their previous match, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Bright Stars, with Jeremy Matata and Franco Mugomba scoring for Busoga in an improved second-half showing, after trailing 0-2 at halftime. However, it's important to note that Busoga has struggled to secure victories in recent matches, enduring a six-game winless streak, during which they have lost four matches and drawn two.

Despite some inconsistencies, Kampala City is starting to resemble the team we once knew. In this upcoming game, I anticipate them displaying a renewed determination to win and showcasing top-level play, reminiscent of their performance against Vipers. Conversely, Busoga has been in poor form recently, struggling even against lower-ranked opponents. Therefore, with the home team expected to perform at their peak, a 2-0 victory at their home venue seems ideal for Kampala City.
