Mbale Heroes vs BUL Prediction: BUL are on another level

Mbale Municipal Stadium will host the Uganda Premier League week eight encounter between Mbale Heroes and BUL. The road team comes in as the favorites. Can Mbale Heroes turn the tables?

Mbale Heroes' last encounter was against the Police, and they lost. In that game, Mbale Heroes conceded in the 23rd minute, with Ben Ocen putting their opponent in the lead. However, while Umar Kyebatala put Mbale Heroes leveled, in the 85th minute, Isaac Ogwang's strike for Police sealed maximum points for their opponent. Heading into this game, Mbale Heroes have failed to win any of their recent matches. In that run, this team lost four games while drawing Lugazi. 

BUL are coming off a 1-0 win over Bright Stars and will look to keep things running. In that encounter, Anwar Ntege's lone strike was the difference, extending BUL's run of matches to three. However, prior encounters ended in wins over Airtel Kitara and URA SC. This season, BUL have accumulated 11 points from seven games, leaving them seated 9th in the standings. In their matches this season, BUL have scored seven goals, while conceding six. 

Mbale Heroes have been playing poorly and will struggle in this game. While BUL have not been inconsistent, their last matches have ended with good performances. Take the visiting team to win while scoring many goals, as the home team's defensive line is weak.
