Maroons vs Express Prediction: These two struggling sides to share the spoils

The Luzira Maximum Prisons Stadium will host the round 22 Uganda Premier League clash between Maroons and Express. Both teams have faced difficulties in securing victories in their recent matches. Is there going to be a victor on this occasion, or will they be satisfied with a tie?

Maroons will approach this game with a determination to secure a victory following a series of recent poor results. In their last league outing, Maroons faced NEC FC away from home and suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat. NEC FC took the lead in the 22nd minute with a goal from Stephen Joseph Dhata, and they doubled their advantage in the 38th minute with Allan Mugalu finding the net. Despite Maroons pulling one back late in the second half through Isaac Kajubi Mpagi, they couldn't salvage more from the match.

As they enter this game, Maroons currently occupy the sixth position in the standings with 31 points earned from 21 games.

Express suffered a defeat in their recent league match against Wakiso Giants, losing 2-3 at home. The game started slowly for Express as they conceded three goals within the first 33 minutes, with Kenneth Kimera, Andrew Samson, and Sharip Kimbowa all finding the net for Wakiso Giants. However, Express managed to pull one back before halftime through Joshua Musoke's goal, and Yasser Mugerwa further reduced the deficit to one in the 87th minute of the second half.

As they prepare for their upcoming match, Express has lost four times in their last six games, with defeats against Mbarara City, Kampala City, and Villa. During the same period, they drew against Bright Stars and secured a victory over UPDF.

It's indeed challenging to favor either side given their recent poor performances. Reviewing their recent matches, both teams have shown excellence in attack, suggesting that we may see each team scoring at least once in this encounter. However, considering that both teams are likely to prioritize avoiding defeat in this game, a draw at full time could hold significant importance for them.
