Ihefu hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 3 points and a 17th position in the Ligi kuu Bara table. Visiting Namungo holds 9th place with 9 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Ligi kuu Bara match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Sokoine Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Namungo have had more rest.
Ihefu form and stats
Ihefu have played 4 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Ihefu are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Ihefu, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
E. Mkanga was the last player to score a league goal for Ihefu and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Ihefu haven't scored in 533 minutes.
The Ihefu fans got no joy from their last match, a Ligi kuu Bara game also here at Sokoine Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Azam (placed 1st). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Biashara United (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ihefu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn zero and lost one.
Ihefu has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. On the other hand, Ihefu have conceded 5 goals.
Namungo form and stats
Things could have gone better for Namungo in their Ligi kuu Bara away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Namungo play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Mtibwa Sugar (placed 14th). Before that, Namungo secured a home win against Kagera Sugar with the score 2-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Namungo in our archives, and the results are: one win for Namungo, four draws and zero defeats.
Namungo are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. Namungo are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
