Mbarara City form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Mbarara City's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Luzira Maximum Prisons Stadium.

Mbarara City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Express FC (placed 11th). Before that, Mbarara City played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Police.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Mbarara City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won 0 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Mbarara City has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Express FC form and stats
