The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Gwambina are in the 12th position while the guesting Mbeya City worry at 17th.
- Mbeya City has the fewest scored goals (6) in Ligi kuu Bara
It's no vacation for neither Gwambina nor Mbeya City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Gwambina form and stats
2-4-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligi kuu Bara numbers at home for Gwambina so far this season. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at CCM Kirumba Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Gwambina.
Gwambina drew their last game, also a home match. Tanzania Prisons (placed 9th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Dodoma Jiji.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Gwambina here at CCM Kirumba Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). Gwambina have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mbeya City form and stats
Mbeya City, who have the fewest scored goals (6) in Ligi kuu Bara, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 2-2-5 (9 played).
Mbeya City aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 381 league minutes without a goal. K. Prosper was the last player to find the net.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Mbeya, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Biashara United (placed 5th). A loss against Simba was the result prior to that, in a home game.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mbeya City's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 9 matches. Mbeya struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 14 goals conceded from these games.
