This is a Premier League fixture with no round listed, and CheckLive have not installed a favourite. That fits the picture: both sides have been inconsistent, so a draw is a genuinely possible result.
NEC FC have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, beating SC Villa 3-1 and Gadafi FC 2-1 but losing to Kampala City 0-1 and Calvary FC 0-2. Lugazi Municipal FC have one win in five, 2-0 against Buhimbu, plus draws with Express FC and BUL FC and defeats to Maroons and Mbarara City.
The head-to-head is firmly with NEC FC: five previous meetings, four NEC FC wins and one Lugazi Municipal win, with no draws. The last one finished 2-0 to NEC FC in a Cup tie. Lugazi have not scored in their last four league outings, so the key question is whether they can finally break through against a side they have struggled with.
