Express vs NEC FC Prediction: The visiting team is in good form

Hamz Stadium, Nakivubo, will host the Uganda Premier League game between Express and NEC FC. Each team has one win in this fixture; which team wins this one?

Express are coming off a goalless draw with the Maroons, and in this one, they will look to return to winning ways. In the meantime, Express' opening day encounter ended in a win against newly promoted Mbale Heroes, thanks to Sam Ssenyonjo's brace. In three matches, Express had four points, sit the 9th spot, scored two goals, and conceded four. 

NEC FC are coming off a win over UPDF, a game that ended 1-0. In that game, Rashid Okocha's lone strike was the difference, coming in the 86th minute. However, this team has won each of their first three matches of the season, the first two coming against Vipers and Airtel Kitara. This season, NEC FC have the most points accumulated from their matches, and they sit 2nd in the standings, with six goals scored and two conceded. 

NEC FC look undefeated at the moment and they are worth backing in this game. On the other hand, Express have struggled with just one win so far this season. While the two teams have a lot to give, being at home will be a big boost for Express. Yet, while I feel NEC FC will win, the fact their defense has not been too tight should see this game end with goals.
