Mbarara City vs Wakiso Giants Prediction: The home team will secure maximum points

Mbarara City and Wakiso Giants will battle it out in round 13 of the Uganda Premier League. The two teams are struggling heading into this fixture and will hope for a positive result. Which team wins here? Below, I will provide match previews and make predictions.

Mbarara City

Mbarara City's last league game was against Lugazi, and this team settled for a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, Mbarara City took the lead in the early minutes of the second half, with Latif Ssenkubuge striking for them. However, Ali Bayo's strike in the last minutes of the match netted for Lugazi, denying Mbarara City maximum points. However, Mbarara City have failed to win their previous three games, losing to Express and Maroons in that run. In the meantime, Mbarara City's last win was against Mbale Heroes, which ended 1-0, with Joseph Akandwanaho's strike being the difference. However, this team has 13 points from their first 12 season matches. In those matches, this team scored 12 goals while conceding 18, as they sit 13th in the standings.

Wakiso Giants

Wakiso Giants suffered a defeat against Kampala City the previous time out and will hope for a better result. In a game that ended 1-2, Wakiso Giants came from behind to level the score with Hudson Mbalire's strike in the 22nd minute. However, in the 59th minute, Emmanuel Anyama's strike was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. However, Wakiso Giants have lost their last four matches, the first three against Villa, URA SC, and Police FC. In fact, Wakiso Giants' last league win was against Mbale Heroes in late September, ending 1-0. This season, Wakiso Giants have nine points from 12 matches. In those matches, Wakiso Giants scored 8 goals while conceding 21. 

Expert Betting Tips

Despite their struggling performances, Mbarara City should be the better side in this game. The Wakiso Giants have faced a very tough run of matches this season and are struggling to get things right. While the Wakiso Giants are facing a tough time showing defensive competitiveness, I expect Mbarara City to exploit the Wakiso Giants' weakness. While the visiting Wakiso Giants have also struggled offensively, I do not see them getting a chance on the road; hence, a bet on a few goals.
