UPDF vs Kampala City Prediction: Visitors won’t disappoint

UPDF and Kampala City will face off at Bombo Stadium in this round 13 Uganda Premier League contest. Let's dive into the match previews and make predictions.

UPDF is coming off a 2-1 defeat against Bright Stars, where they initially conceded in the 12th minute with a goal from Samuel KateNemeyimana. A second-half goal in the 53rd minute by Rashidi Faridi leveled the scores for UPDF. However, a 76th-minute goal by Nelson Senkatuka secured all three points for Bright Stars. Examining UPDF's recent matches, they have faced challenges, losing four of their last five matches with only one draw in the same period.

Kampala City enters this match on the back of consecutive victories, and they aim for a similar outcome here. In their recent win, Kampala City secured a 2-1 victory over Villa on the road. Etienne Openga Katenga and Ashraf Mugume scored the decisive goals for Kampala City, overcoming Charles Lwanga's strike for Villa. With this win, Kampala City has accumulated 13 points from 12 matches, placing them in the 10th spot in the standings.

The visitors are in the advantageous position, and I anticipate them to exhibit strength in this match. Despite not being in their best form, the hosts, UPDF, have faced numerous recent losses, which diminishes the likelihood of a strong fight from their side. Consequently, I predict a low-scoring away win for the visitors.
