UPDF vs Wakiso Giants Prediction: Expect goals in this match

This Uganda Premier League match between UPDF and Wakiso Giants will take place at Bombo Stadium and is part of round 3 of the competition. Which of the two teams do you believe has a better chance of coming out on top here, despite the fact that both of them will be hoping for a win?

UPDF - home side keeps struggling

The opening match for UPDF was a duel against URA SC, which ended in a scoreless tie. However, given that they played a team from Airtel Kitara that had just been promoted, they would have hoped for a better outcome in game 2, but they were only able to find themselves on the losing end of the scoreboard. In the game, Christopher Kamagu scored the game's only goal, which allowed their opponent to score the game's only goal. The home team will now be hoping to improve their performance, find their rhythm, and capture their first win of the season as they head into this match.

Wakiso Giants - Giants are not reliable

Wakiso Giants have been a disappointing team, and their dismal performances are likely to continue for the foreseeable future given their current form. Wakiso Giants' first game of the season was a loss to Maroons that ended in a score of 0-3, while their second game of the day was a draw with Bright Stars that concluded in a score of 1-1. In spite of this, when looking at Wakiso Giants' performance throughout the course of their most recent five matches in total, the team has now gone undefeated, with their best result in this span being a draw.

Head-Head Statistics

Four of the most recent five matches between these two teams were won by the Wakiso Giants. These victories were between the years 2021 and 2022. However, in their most recent encounter, which took place in 2023, UPDF emerged victorious with a score of 1-0. Eight goals were scored by the Wakiso Giants in those matches, whereas only two were scored by the UPDF.

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides will be going into this match with the intention of winning in order to break their current losing streaks; thus, it should prove to be a very challenging competition. Although this might be the ideal matchup for either team to get their first win of the season, I don't think it will be an easy one for them either. Consequently, given that it is anticipated that both sides will put in a lot of effort to prevent a loss, I believe that the ideal result in this match will be a 1-1 tie.
