Kampala City vs Maroons Prediction: The home team will run riot in this game

Uganda Premier League game returns to Phillip Omondi Stadium, where Kampala City will play Maroons. Heading into this game, the home team is well-favored, while the visiting team is a huge underdog. How will this game unfold?

Kampala City secured a hard-fought win over Mbale Heroes the previous time out and will look to keep things running. In a game that ended 0-1, Bright Anukani's 30th-minute goal was the difference. However, this team remains unbeaten after the first six matches, drawing two and winning four. Kampala City scored only six goals in those matches while conceding one. With 14 points, Kampala City sit third in the league’s log, leaving them seated in third spot in the standings. 

Maroons are coming off a 1-1 draw with Villa and will look to return to winning ways here. In that game, the Maroons needed a 77th-minute Jackson Nunda strike to avoid a defeat, having been behind in the 7th minute. However, this team's last five matches show they won only one, a 1-0 win over Lugazi. In the meantime, other games ended in defeats to NEC FC and Wakiso Giants while they drew Express. This season, Maroons have accumulated six points from six matches, averaging a point per game, ranking them 13th in the standings. 

The visiting Maroons have a lot to give in this game if they want to be a tough side like they were in the past. While Kampala City have been playing well this season, their attacking threat needs improvement despite a strong defensive play. Given the odds in this game, I expect a lot of offensive games from the two sides. This should be a high-scoring game in between, a game where the home side will dominate.
