Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Onduparaka in 6th and Mbarara City in 8th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Onduparaka form and stats
5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Onduparaka so far this season. Onduparaka has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.
Stress levels are on the rise for Onduparaka's attacking players as they have now played 292 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Okocha was their last goal scorer.
No payout for Onduparaka in their previous match, an away game at SC Villa that ended in defeat 0-1. Ahead of that match, Onduparaka lost 0-1 at home to Express FC.
This is expected to be a close game, with Onduparaka perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Onduparaka as a small favourite), we find three games. Onduparaka has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
A decent goal production from Onduparaka in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 11 league matches. Onduparaka have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mbarara City form and stats
Mbarara City have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-7 (11 played).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Mbarara City, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 3-4 versus Kyetume (placed 12th). That result followed a home victory 9-0 versus FHL in the Uganda Cup.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Kyetume was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Late heartbreak for Mbarara City in the Kyetume match, as the deciding 3-4 goal came deep into overtime.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mbarara City playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Mbarara City win, one draw and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Mbarara City are hosting BUL in the Premier League only four days away.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Mbarara City have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
