Express vs BUL Prediction: I expect goals from the two teams

Uganda Premier League action at Hamz Stadium will see Express play BUL in a round 16 encounter. Heading into this game, the two teams settled for a draw in their last meeting. Will there be a winner in this one? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities.

Express

Express' last league game was back in early January against UPDF, which they won. In a 0-2 contest, second-half goals from Conrad Ssenjogera and Sam Ssenyonjo were enough to see this team seal maximum points. However, that win was this team’s third in their last five games, defeating Bright Stars and Kampala City in the run. In the meantime, they lost to Airtel Kitara and URA SC in that span, games that ended 7-0 and 1-2, respectively. This season, Express have accumulated a total of 25 points, which positions them third in the standings. In those matches, this team scored only 17 goals while conceding 20 in the same run.

BUL

BUL were at home against Wakiso Giants the previous time out in the league and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 1-1, BUL needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Ibrahim Mugulusi’s 75th minute goal. In the meantime, BUL have an unbeaten run of four matches heading into this game. In that span, this team defeated Lugazi while drawing NEC FC and Vipers. This season, BUL have picked 20 points from a possible 45, which sees them sit 9th in the standings. BUL have scored only 13 goals this season and conceded the same number in the matches played. 

Expert Betting Tips

BUL have not lived up to expectations this season and despite Express' recent successes, their performances have not been consistent. Looking at how things have fared between these teams, it is clear we are up for a tight contest, which can possibly go either way. Yet, looking at the attacking play of the two sides and the number of goals they have scored this season, I will back the two teams to score. Also, while Express look more determined this season, I believe being at home will be a huge boost for them to win here.
