This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligi kuu Bara, Ihefu holding 17th place and Mbeya City lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Ihefu have the most conceded goals in the first half (18) in Ligi kuu Bara
- Mbeya City have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Ihefu form and stats
4-2-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligi kuu Bara numbers at home for Ihefu so far this season. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Ihefu, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ihefu here at Sokoine Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 12 games). On the other hand, Ihefu have conceded 15 goals.
Mbeya City form and stats
Mbeya City have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 2-4-6 (12 played).
The Mbeya goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 248 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
The attacking power of Mbeya when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Mbeya City struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.
