NEC FC vs UPDF Prediction: The home team look very decent

NEC FC and UPDF will square it off in round 2 of the Uganda Premier League. The two teams are coming off a win in their last league game. How will this one unfold?

NEC FC played Airtel Kitara the last time out, and this team secured a 1-2 win. In that game, we witnessed a goalless draw at halftime, but a 50th-minute Enock Ssebagala did put NEC FC in the lead. However, Kabob Living leveled the scores for Airtel Kitara from the spot in the 69th minute, but a 79th-minute Wahab Gadafi was enough to give NEC FC maximum points. Heading into this game, NEC FC have six points from their first two matches of the season, leaving them top of the Uganda Premier League. 

UPDF are coming off a win over Lugazi, and this team will look to keep things running. In that encounter, we witnessed a goalless draw, and it was not until the 76th minute that Samson Kigozi's goal gave UPDF maximum points. In the meantime, this team started their season with a 1-1 draw with Maroons. Heading into this game, UPDF have not lost any of their last four matches recently, scoring five goals and conceding two. 

NEC FC have been very good this season, especially with their opening game win over Vipers. However, the home team have not been too good defensively despite their potent attacking play. The road team has not failed to score in the league this season, and with a run of top performances into this game, I expect them to be threatening in attack here. Expect the two teams to be good in attack while NEC FC take maximum points.
