NEC FC vs Vipers Prediction: Vipers should win this game

Phillip Omondi Stadium will host the Uganda Premier League game between NEC FC and Vipers. How will these teams begin their season? Below, I preview this game and make betting possibilities. 

NEC FC will have high hopes this season after only making the top six last season. The previous season, this team had 48 percent of the possession from 29 matches, accumulating 48 points in that run. In the meantime, while scoring 35 league goals, NEC FC conceded 34 in the same number of goals. Heading into the new season, NEC FC have one win in recent times, coming against Express. In the meantime, NEC FC lost to Villa and Airtel Kitara in that run while being held to draws by Vipers and Bright Stars. 

Vipers head into this game following a strong season, even though they could not make the CAF tournament. The Vipers had 56 points from 29 matches the previous season, finishing third in the standings. In those matches, Vipers scored 45 goals while conceding 20 in the same run of games. In their run of games into the new season, Vipers won four matches while playing to a draw in another encounter. In those matches, Vipers scored nine goals while conceding two. 

Vipers are way ahead of NEC FC in this game, and I expect them to approach this game with their best tactics. While NEC FC are in the lead, they might be a big problem as they will look to open their season with a win. Looking at how the two teams play at the moment, I am backing the road team to win a game with many goals.
