Bidco United vs Muranga Prediction: A defensive-oriented game is expected

At Kenyatta Stadium, Bidco United will play Muranga in round 17 of the Kenyan Premier League. The last meeting between these teams ended in a 1-0 win for the visiting Muranga. Can Bidco United get revenge here? I look into the full match previews below, which offer betting opportunities. 

Bidco United struggled like every other time and previous time out against Sofapaka, and they lost. In a game that ended 0-2, Bidco United conceded in each half, with Benjamin Mosha and Yobo netting for their opponent. However, Bidco United have lost their last three league games, the first two against Tusker and Police FC, ending 2-1 and 0-3, respectively. In fact, Bidco United have one win in their last seven league games, coming against Gor Mahia. In 15 league matches played, Bidco United have 14 points. In those games, this team sit 17th with nine goals scored and 17 conceded.

Muranga were away from home against Talanta FC the previous time out, and they suffered a defeat. In a game that ended 0-1, Nicholas Omondi's strike in the 71st minute was crucial to seeing this team win their third consecutive match. In the first two, they pulled off wins over Mathare United and Posta Rangers. Away from home, Muranga have lost only once in six matches, coming against Nairobi City Stars, winning three and drawing two. This season, Muranga have 21 points accumulated from a possible 45. In those games, Muranga scored 11 goals, conceded 15 and sit 9th spot.

Muranga are playing so well this season, and a win in this game will be a huge one for them to dream about winning the league. While Bidco United has struggled this season, their poor defensive play is another issue to deal with. The two teams have their problems, but I believe their major challenge will be on scoring as they can not afford to lose. Bet on a few goals here, and while Bidco United are at home, I believe they will take a point at full-time as they continue to fight relegation.
