Struggling Tanzania Prisons are desperate to pull off a small shock when they greet hard-driving Young Africans in the next league fixture. It’s 13th vs 1st and the home fans will have not-so-high confidence.
- All of Tanzania Prisons's home-matches have had more than 2,5 goals.
- Young Africans have the most scored goals (12) in Ligi kuu Bara
It should be mentioned that Young Africans play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Young Africans on grass are 14 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats from 23 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 29-12. You can compare this with overall results below.
These teams have little in common geographically as Young Africans have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
This should be an entertaining game with lots of spark and energy as both sides are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Let's start!
