It's fixture two of the Ligi kuu Bara campaign and all to play for. Read our thorough preview of Dodoma Jiji-Simba!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dodoma and Simba.
Dodoma Jiji form and stats
The previous season, Dodoma Jiji's league statistics were 11 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses, ending with 8th spot in the Ligi kuu Bara. During these 34 matches they scored 28 goals and conceded 31. Playing as the home side in the former season Dodoma Jiji delivered 7-7-3 (win-draw-lost) with 18 goals and 11 conceded. The hosts won their first Ligi kuu Bara game here, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Dodoma Jiji last season were 7 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses from 17 games.
The Dodoma goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 315 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligi kuu Bara.
Dodoma Jiji's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Ruvu Shooting (placed 14th). The home side are looking to build on that result.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Young Africans.This is expected to be a close game, with Dodoma Jiji perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Dodoma Jiji has the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
