Maroons vs Bright Stars Prediction: Relegation fight continues for Maroons.

Uganda Premier League action at Luzira Maximum Prisons Stadium will see Maroons play Bright Stars. The two teams head into this game following a winless performance in their last league encounter. How will this one unfold? Below, I look into the preview of this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

Maroons

Maroons played Vipers the previous time out and they lost. In a 1-0 encounter, Moses Ndhondhi's strike in the 18th minute was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. However, that defeat was the Maroons’ second in their last eight matches, having lost to Airtel Kitara in that run. In the meantime, recent encounters also saw this team defeat Mbale Heroes, Police FC, Mbarara City, Bright Stars and URA SC while they drew BUL. This season, Maroons have picked up 22 points from their first 15 league games. The home team is seated 6th in the standings, scoring 15 goals while conceding 19. 

Bright Stars

Bright Stars are coming off a league game against Lugazi, which ended in a draw. In an encounter that ended 1-1, Bright Stars needed a second-half strike from Alex Mandera to avoid a defeat after Nelson Mandela had put Lugazi in the lead before the break. However, Bright Stars have struggled in recent matches, with just one win to register in their last eight league matches, coming at home against UPDF. In other games, this team suffered defeats at the hands of Mbale Heroes, Vipers, NEC FC, Maroons, and Express. This season, the visiting team has accumulated 10 points from their first 15 matches, which saw them sit 15th.

Expert Betting Tips

I do not see anything stopping Maroons from securing maximum points in this game considering their visitors’ struggle. While Maroons have had their tough times also, Bright Stars are just too below competitive this season, and I do not see them having a solution to their struggles. Expect a tight one, but I feel the visiting team will be dominated. Yet, with the two teams expected to struggle offensively, a bet on a few goals is another option to consider.

Our first option is a win for Maroons with odds at 1.83 on 1Xbet

Our second option is goal line under 2.0 with odds at 1.90 on Bet365

Our last option is both teams to score no with odds at 1.62 on Betway
