Young Africans form and stats

Young Africans's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Young Africans collect 14 points from their 6 away matches in the Ligi kuu Bara. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). In general it has been a productive period now for Young Africans as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.

Young Africans won their last game, 4-0 versus Dodoma Jiji played at home. As mentioned above, Young Africans was the only team on the pitch versus Dodoma Jiji in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Biashara United.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Young Africans have scored 8 goals in 6 league games away. Young Africans's manager Nabi has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 2 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
