Airtel Kitara have been one of the promising sides in the league, but their inconsistency has been the problem. While this side has scored the third most goals this season, they have conceded nine and could only find themselves below half of the standings.
However, the previous time out, this team has been impressive and will hope to keep things rolling. In their last three league games, this team has scored 14 goals and remain unbeaten in that run. Taking on the Maroons the previous week, goals from Fred Amaku, Ronald Otti, and Jude Ssemugabi were enough to complete a 0-4 perfect victory on the road.
However, looking at their last home matches, Airtel Kitara secured consecutive victories, defeating Mbale Heroes and UPDF, scoring ten goals while failing to concede in those games.
Airtel Kitara head into this game with a 14-point accumulation from a possible 36 as they sit in the 11th spot.
Express
Express saw a run of unbeaten results come to an end the previous time out against URA SC and will hope to do better here. In an encounter that ended 1-2, Express conceded in each half, with Enock Walusimbi and Ahimbisibwe Ivan putting their opponent ahead. However, despite a 62nd-minute strike from Sam Ssenyonjo from the spot, it was not enough to see this team take a point at full time.
However, prior encounters to that defeat saw Express defeat sides like Mbarara City, Kampala City, and Villa while drawing BUL and Wakiso Giants in that run. In fact, Express scored in four of those matches.
In their last road matches, Express have not suffered a defeat, picking one win and drawing three. In that run, this team scored four goals while conceding three. This season, Express have accumulated 19 points from a possible 36, leaving them seated 5th. This team sits nine points behind league-leading Vipers, scoring 13 goals while conceding 12.
Expert Betting Tips
These are two poor defensive sides, and I expect them to exploit each other's weaknesses. However, Airtel Kitara are showing signs of strong play, reminding me of their impressive play last season. While the recent matches involving Airtel Kitara have ended with dominant play, I feel Express will be a tougher opponent to deal with, considering how competitive they have been against strong opponents so far. Yet, while I expect goals from both sides, the ultimate option will be to take a chance on the hot Airtel Kitara team winning.
