Villa vs Vipers Prediction: Can Vipers extend their lead?

Mutesa II Stadium Wankulukuku will be the venue for the round 21 encounter of the Uganda Premier League encounter between Villa and Vipers. The two teams have been impressive and will hope to extend their run. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Villa

Villa played Lugazi in their last game and secured a much-needed win. In what was a cup contest, Reagan Mpande's strike in the 69th minute was enough to see this team make it to the next round. In the meantime, Villa have won three of their last matches, two coming against Express and Bright Stars. Ahead of this game, Villa have lost only one of their last ten matches, coming against Maroons. In the meantime, this team won six other contests while winning three others. Villa have 27 points in 20 league matches, scoring 31 goals and conceding 23 as they sit in 9th place.

Vipers

Vipers played Blacks Power in their last contest, coming in the Uganda Cup, which ended 3-0. In that encounter, Yunus Sentamu's strike before the break put this team in the lead before second-half goals from Sukuya and Livingston Mulondo struck. However, this team won their last league game against Wakiso Giants, ending 3-0. Ahead of this game, Vipers have won their last ten matches. In that run, this team picked up wins over Mbale Heroes, Maroons, UPDF, Mbarara City, Kampala City, and Police FC. With 49 points from 20 matches, Vipers sit at the top of the standings, scoring 32 goals with 9 conceded. 

Expert Betting Tips

These are two teams that are playing so well at the moment and will hope to be at their best again. While Villa are at home, I expect them to show dominance and display character and hunger. However, Vipers have been the better team this season, but their results in this game have not been easy. Expect a close competition, but as the better team, I expect Vipers to win one half. Also, with both teams expected to show quality offensive play, a bet on goals is a good option. 

Our first option is a win in at least one half for Vipers with odds at 1.62 on 1Xbet

Our second option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 2.35 on Bet365

Our last option is both teams to score with odds at 2.03 on Betway
