Alliance are welcoming Mtibwa Sugar for another important game after their 1-0 result against 5th-placed Coastal Union.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Relegation threatens Alliance who should definitely be looking for some points here. Mtibwa are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Alliance form and stats
Alliance have played 16 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-5 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Alliance after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Alliance are confident in defense, having played 191 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The Alliance supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Coastal Union in Ligi kuu Bara and win 1-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Coastal Union in a game that was won 1-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligi kuu Bara game versus Lipuli in only four days. This game is also played here at CCM Kirumba Stadium.
Alliance are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. Alliance have conceded 21 in these home matches.
Mtibwa Sugar form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mtibwa Sugar so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-9 (win-draw-lose). Mtibwa Sugar has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Mtibwa aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 207 league minutes without a goal. R. Msuya was the last player to find the net.
Prior to that match, the Mtibwa Sugar manager faced defeat when travelling to Mwadui and losing 0-1.
Mtibwa Sugar has another fixture away, a Ligi kuu Bara game, against Mbao in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Mtibwa when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 18 league matches away. Mtibwa are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 16 times in 18 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
