The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Coastal Union are in the 10th position while the guests worry at 18th.
Mbeya City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
