Lugazi vs Vipers Prediction: Vipers will not disappoint

Lugazi FC Stadium will host the Uganda Premier League game between Lugazi and Vipers. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Lugazi failed to impress once again in the top-flight league as they lost to UPDF the last time out. In a game that ended 1-0, in the 76th minute, Samson Kigozi’s strike was the difference of the day. In the meantime, this team started their promotion to the top flight league with a 0-3 defeat to Airtel Kitara in this venue. Heading into this week's three encounters, Lugazi remain the only side without a league point this season. 

Vipers secured their first win of the season the last time out against Express, and this team will hope for a similar result here. In that game, Milton Karisa’s strike in the 21st minute put Vipers in the lead before getting his second in the 75th minute. However, in the 84th minute, Asiwome Fumador’s strike was enough to seal the win for this side, having lost to NEC FC in their opener on the road. Vipers head into this game with one defeat in their last seven matches in the league. 

Lugazi are still working hard to find its footing in the topflight league, and Vipers should get the best out of their opponent here. While the Vipers responded to their opening-day defeat, I expect them to keep things going here. With the poor defensive play of the host, I am confident the Vipers will win by a good margin.
