Bright Stars vs Mbarara City Prediction: Bright Stars to secure their first win of the season

Kavumba Recreation Center will host the Uganda Premier League encounter between Bright Stars and Mbarara City. The previous time out, neither team could secure a win. How will this encounter unfold? Below, I will look into the analysis of this game and make predictions. 

Bright Stars

Bright Stars settled for a 2-2 draw the previous time out against Villa and will eye a win this time. In that game, Patrick Jonah Kakande and Charles Lwanga’s strikes gave Villa a two-goal lead but came from behind to take a point. In the meantime, Bright Stars have not secured a win in their first five matches of the season, losing two and drawing three. Bright Stars sit bottom spot in the standings, scoring four goals and conceding six. 

Mbarara City

Mbarara City were held to a 1-1 draw by Airtel Kitara last time out and will look to return to winning ways here. In that encounter, Mbarara City found the back of the net in the 85th minute, but a 90th-minute strike by Patrick Kaddu for Airtel Kitara denied this side maximum points. Heading into this game, Mbarara City lost once this season, winning one encounter and drawing three. 

Expert Betting Tips

Mbarara City have not lost in four consecutive league games and will approach this game confidently. While Bright Stars are searching for their first win of their season, they will also have their hopes high here. This should be a competitive encounter, with the two teams playing at the top level. While I trust the home side, the visiting team's offensive offensive line is worth recognising. I expect both teams to score, but a bet on the home side is the best option.
