Lugazi vs Mbale Heroes Prediction: Two weak teams hoping for for a win

Lugazi FC Stadium will host the Uganda Premier League game between Lugazi and Mbale Heroes. The two teams are coming off poor performances. How will they approach this game?

Lugazi are coming off a defeat against the Maroons, a 1-0 defeat on the road. In that encounter, a last-minute Brian Omirambe from the spot was the difference. However, Lugazi have failed to win any of their first four matches of the season. In fact, Lugazi's best result was a goalless draw against Vipers. In other games, Lugazi lost to UPDF and Airtel Kitara. This season, Lugazi have one point and sit bottom of the standings with goals scored and five conceded. 

Mbale Heroes are coming off a 0-4 defeat against URA SC and will look to return to winning ways. In that game, Mbale Heroes conceded three goals in the first half, with Ahimbisibwe Ivan scoring three times in the first half, while Amisi Bwangani in the second half was enough to seal maximum points for their opponents. This season, the road team has three defeats and one win in their first four league matches. 

The two teams are not playing at a high level, and they will need to be at their best. At home, Lugazi will hope to secure their first win of the season. While Mbale Heroes are coming off consecutive defeats, they will look to get a win on the road. However, with the two teams struggling and coming off successive defeats, I expect them to approach this game with confidence in attack. Take the two teams to score here, and at home, I expect Lugazi to win.
