Busoga vs NEC FC Prediction: Both teams should score this time

Uganda Premier League action is set to shift to Kakindu Stadium, where Busoga will play host to NEC FC. This marks the second-ever meeting between the two clubs. Busoga, playing on their home turf, will seek to avenge their first-leg defeat, a humiliating 5-0 thrashing. On the other hand, NEC FC aims to secure back-to-back victories against their opponent.

Busoga has encountered recent struggles leading up to this upcoming match, and the home team is optimistic about changing their fortunes. Over their last seven matches, Busoga managed just one victory, which came as a home win against Airtel Kitara with a scoreline of 2-1. However, the remaining matches in that span saw Busoga facing defeats against Vipers, BUL, Wakiso Giants, Villa, and Bright Stars. Additionally, they secured draws in matches against URA SC and Maroons.

Heading into this match, Busoga has accumulated only 15 points from 15 league matches this season. They have scored just 11 goals while conceding 26, placing them in the 14th spot in the league standings.

Despite a strong start to the season, NEC FC has experienced a notable decline in performance in recent months. However, in their most recent outing, they managed to break a four-match winless streak by defeating Arua Hill. During the winless streak, NEC FC faced defeats against Vipers and Express, while settling for draws with BUL and Bright Stars. In the 2-1 victory over Arua Hill, Kayanja Brian's brace in the second half secured a comeback after Nelson Mandela had given Arua Hill the lead.

As they approach the upcoming match, NEC FC has accumulated 24 points from 15 league matches. The visitors currently occupy the 8th spot in the league standings ahead of this fixture.

Both teams seem to be facing challenges in both offense and defense, leading to a lack of confidence in either side. Considering their recent performances and outcomes of previous matches, a draw with goals from both teams in this upcoming encounter appears to be a plausible and reasonable expectation.
