This could be an interesting match as Alliance have their presumed home advantage while Simba are ahead 18 points in the Ligi kuu Bara table.
Simba could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligi kuu Bara game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Mbao, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Simba.
Alliance form and stats
Alliance's struggle is real here with only 9 points collected from 9 Ligi kuu Bara games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4. With Alliance having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager .
Stress levels are on the rise for Alliance's attacking players as they have now played 185 minutes without scoring in a league game.
The Alliance crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to JKT Tanzania here in a Ligi kuu Bara match. Heartbreak before that as Alliance lost 0-2 at Lipuli's place.
Alliance aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 7 goals from 9 games. Alliance have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Simba form and stats
Simba, who have the most scored goals (31) in Ligi kuu Bara, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 21 points collected from 8 Ligi kuu Bara games. 7 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far. Simba have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
It's the second away game in a row for Simba, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Mbao (placed 14th) in the Ligi kuu Bara last time out. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Young Africans.
The Simba manager P. Aussems has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 8 league matches. The Simba defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (3 goals in 8 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 0 - 0 - 2 (Alliance wins - draws - Simba wins). As for goals, 1 match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 1 had two or less.Alliance missing players
