Kampala City vs Express Prediction: A close outcome expected

At the Phillip Omondi Stadium, Kampala City and Express will battle it out in the postponed action of the first week of the Uganda Premier League. On paper, the Kampala City team is the favorite to win this match, while the Express team is considered to be the underdog.

Kampala City - home team to open their season with a win

After having a subpar showing in both of their first two matches of the season, Kampala City will come into this encounter looking to improve on that. In the first game of the season, Kampala City was defeated by BUL away from home in a match that ended with a score of 1-0. In the meantime, the second game they played against each other this season also resulted in a loss at home, this time by a score of 1-2. In the Uganda Premier League, Kampala City are currently in 14th place, having earned no points in their first two matches.

Express - visiting Express will struggle

Mbarara City and Express played to a scoreless draw to open the new season for both teams. Despite this, the away team fared exceptionally well to improve their chances for the upcoming season by scooping up a 0-2 road win over Busoga on the road in the week 2 matchup. In the meantime, Express are now in the eighth slot in the standings of the Uganda Premier League with 4 points, and they will now try to improve their prospects of moving to the top of the standings with a win today.

Head-Head Statistics

In the most recent five matches between these two teams, Express has not won a single one, while Kampala City has triumphed in just one. Nevertheless, the results of four of the competitions were tied. Three goals were scored by Express in those matches, whereas six goals were scored by Kampala City.

Expert Betting Tips

I believe that this will be a balanced game with a good probability of victory for each of the competing teams. On the other hand, considering that Kampala City has not yet recorded a victory in this campaign, I believe that the home team will have a chance to win this match. Also, considering that the away team, the Express, is anticipated to be strong once again in defense and that they have not let up a single goal this season, I anticipate a match with a low number of goals.
