Ulinzi Stars vs Muranga Prediction: The home team is expected to get the first win over Muranga

In week one of the Kenyan Premier League, Ulinzi Stars will play Muranga at Ulinzi Sports Complex. Having met two different times, each encounter ended in a 1-1 draw. Which team will secure the first win in this fixture?

Ulinzi Stars will enter the new season hoping to do better than they did the previous year. Last season, this team secured 39 points from a possible 102 and could only finish 12th. In the 34 matches played, this team scored 24 goals while conceding 28. In the meantime, Ulinzi Stars will enter the new season with a win in two of their last five matches. In other encounters, this team lost two while drawing one.

Muranga finished 12th in the Kenyan Premier League last season and will now set their eyes on winning the title this season. In the previous season, this team secured 38 points from a possible 102. However, they did well to score 28 goals in those encounters while conceding 34. Heading into this new season, this team failed to win any of their last matches, losing two and drawing three. 

Both teams will not have an easy job in this fixture, and they will also have to be at their best. In the meantime, Ulinzi Stars have the better team and are slightly favored here. However, Muranga have not failed to score in this fixture, and I expect them to be a threat offensively, too.
