Maroons vs Wakiso Giants Prediction: Maroons are expected to secure their first win of the season

Luzira Maximum Prisons Stadium will host the Uganda Premier League encounter between the Maroons and Wakiso Giants. The two teams could only settle for a point in their last meeting. Will there be a winner in this encounter?

The Maroons started their season with a 1-1 draw with UPDF last weekend and will hope for a better result here. In that encounter, the Maroons could not take the lead until the 81st minute through Jackson Nunda, but an 87th-minute strike by Hussein Zzinda for UPDF denied this team maximum points. However, a look at Maroons' recent matches shows that Maroons have not won any of their last six games, losing two and drawing four. In those matches, this team scored five goals while conceding eight.

Wakiso Giants' season-opening game came against Bright Stars, and this team was held to a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, this team did take an early lead in the 36th minute of the first half through A. Hebert strike. In the meantime, a 68th-minute Alou Kokas’ strike for Bright Stars denied Wakiso Giants maximum points in that encounter. Entering into this week's two games, Wakiso Giants have not won any of their last three competitive matches, losing to UPDF and Kampala City in that run.

The two teams have not been decent in recent matches and need a strong performance in this game. While Wakiso Giants are on the road, I have little expectations from them as they have not won any of their last four games in this series. In the meantime, the Maroons are not playing too well, but I believe they should win this one at home. Also, with two teams expected to show decent play offensively, I expect goals in this one.
