NEC FC vs Vipers Prediction: Vipers to eke to victory

At the Phillip Omondi Stadium, NEC FC will play Vipers in the Uganda Premier League. Vipers won the first leg of this encounter. Will NEC FC fight back?

NEC FC are coming off a 1-1 draw with Bright Stars. In that game, NEC FC took the lead in the 82nd minute of the second half but could not hold until the end as they conceded in the last minute. However, looking at this side, recent games show they have not lost any of their last four games. In that run, NEC FC defeated BUL twice, while they drew BUL in a cup encounter.

Vipers last game was against Express, and this team secured a 1-0 win. In that game, Milton Karisa’s 20th-minute strike for Vipers was all they needed to take maximum points. In the meantime, Vipers’ recent games have not been impressive, as this side have lost two of their last five games, coming against Airtel Kitara and BUL. However, they defeated Airtel Kitara and drew the Maroons in other league games. In those matches, Vipers scored six goals while conceding four.

The two teams have a good chance here, but the road team has the better team and needs this game more. While the Vipers dominated the first leg of this encounter, being on the road will be an issue here, but they should do well to win, and that should end with many goals.
