Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Coastal Union in 11th and Ruvu Shooting in 7th place.
- Ruvu Shooting have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Ligi kuu Bara
The hosts Coastal saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Ligi kuu Bara. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Biashara United.
Coastal Union form and stats
Coastal Union have collected 21 points from their Ligi kuu Bara home games so far after 5-6-1.
It's back home for Coastal, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Biashara United away with the result 1-0. Prior to that, an away loss at Gwambina.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligi kuu Bara game versus Mtibwa Sugar in only three days. This game is also played here at Mkwakwani Stadium.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Coastal here at Mkwakwani Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 12 games). Coastal are not conceding a lot of goals here at Mkwakwani Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 12 matches.
Ruvu Shooting form and stats
Ruvu Shooting have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 3-4-6 (13 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Shooting have lost on their last two travels.
There might be some fixture complaints from Shooting as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ligi kuu Bara match against KMC (0-1). That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus JKT Tanzania.
A new game in only four days for Shooting, the Ligi kuu Bara home match versus Mwadui. Busy days.
The attacking power of Ruvu Shooting when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by Shooting in these games.
