Express vs Wakiso Giants Prediction: Home team will secure a win

In round 18 of the Uganda Premier League, Express will play Wakiso Giants at Hamz Stadium. The two teams are coming off a poor performance and will look to turn the tables. Which team wins here? I will preview this game and offer predictions below. 

Express

Express were on the road against Villa in their last league game and they lost. In a 1-0 contest, Patrick Kakande's goal from the spot was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, that defeat was Express’ third in their last five, two against Airtel Kitara and BUL, ending 7-0 and 0-2. Despite those performances, Express lost to UPDF and Bright Stars, ending 0-2 and 2-1. Heading into this game, Express have 25 points from 17 matches, scoring 17 goals and conceding 23 as they sit 7th.

Wakiso Giants

Wakiso Giants last league game was against Lugazi, and they ended on the losing end. In a 1-0 contest, Abdul Kalanzi's strike in the 54th minute was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, Wakiso Giants have not won any of their last fifteen matches. In that run, Wakiso Giants lost eight matches while drawing seven. Away from home, Wakiso Giants have lost their last three matches. With 13 points, Wakiso Giants sit 14th in the standings, scoring 10 goals and conceding 24. 

Expert Betting Tips

Wakiso Giants have shown competitiveness lately, but the visitors have not been able to win lately. On the other hand, Express have failed to step up their game, losing their last two already. Yet, on the road, I do not see Wakiso Giants avoiding a defeat in this game. While this could be a low-scoring contest like their past meetings, a win for the home side is the best. 

Our first option is a win for Express in either half with odds at 1.73 on 1Xbet

Our second option is under 2.5 goals with odds at 1.60 on Bet365

Our last option is both teams to score no with odds at 1.75 on Betway
