NEC FC vs BUL Prediction: The best outcome here is a draw

Phillip Omondi Stadium will be the venue for this round 25 encounter between NEC FC and BUL in the Uganda Premier League. In the reverse fixture of this fixture, both teams settled for a 1-1 draw. Will there be a decisive side here?

NEC FC are coming off their second loss in four games. In their last defeat, NEC FC took on URA SC, and they were defeated 2-0. In that game, NEC FC conceded one goal in each half, with Ahimbisibwe Ivan netting the two goals for URA SC. However, NEC FC have been able to win a majority of their recent matches, defeating the likes of Police, Airtel Kitrara, Maroons, Gaddafi, and Busoga. This season, in the Uganda Premier League, NEC FC have accumulated 40 points from a possible 72. The hosts are positioned 5th in the league standings with 31 goals scored while conceding 30.

BUL got the best of Express last time out in a 2-0 encounter. In that game, Ibrahim Orit netted a brace in the 18th and 75th minute of the game. However, BUL have now remained unbeaten in their last four games. In that span, they drew Airtel Kitara while defeating Wakiso Giants and Kampala City. BUL are well positioned at the top of the league standings ahead of this game with 46 accumulated points from 24 games. The visiting team has now scored 31 goals this season while conceding just 16.

It is hard to trust either team to win here, considering how their performances have been this season. NEC FC and BUL are one of the best teams this season, and the fact that there are just 6 points separating them is a testament to this. This season, both sides have scored the same number of goals, 31, and I expect a similar result here. Also, while the two sides should be solid on both ends of the field, a full-time draw should satisfy both sides here.
