Vipers vs Airtel Kitara Prediction: Vipers to extend their the league gap with a win

Uganda Premier League game moves to St. Mary's Stadium, where Vipers will play Airtel Kitara in week 10. The two teams secured a win in their last league game and will hope for a similar result here. Let's preview this game and make predictions. 

Vipers

Vipers are coming off a 0-2 win over URA SC and will hope for a similar commanding outcome here. In that game, Milton Karisa and Allan Okello's second-half strikes were enough to seal maximum points for this side. However, the Vipers have not lost any of their last eight league games, winning six and drawing two. In the league this season, Vipers have accumulated 20 points, scoring 16 goals and conceding seven which put them top of the standings. 

Airtel Kitara

Airtel Kitara returned to winning ways the previous time out and will hope for a similar result here. In a game that ended 4-0, Airtel Kitara scored three times before the break, with Kabon Living scoring a brace, while Fred Amaku also netted from the spot. However, this team needed George Ssenkaaba's goal in the second half to seal maximum points. In the meantime, prior encounters to those wins saw Airtel Kitara go seven games without a win, losing six games and drawing one. In the league this season, Airtel Kitara have seven points, the second fewest after week nine games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Airtel Kitara are playing below the level they put themselves at last season, and it is not worth taking a chance on them in crucial and tough games like this. On the other hand, there is no competitive side as Vipers this season, and I expect the league leaders to approach this game with their best tactics. While the home team has been netting at least two times in each of their matches, I expect a similar outcome here. However, with poor play, I do not see Airtel Kitara's offence being able to hurt Vipers here; hence, a bet on a few goals.
