An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligi kuu Bara, with both Kagera Sugar and Mbeya City experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
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 Kagera and Mbeya City.
Mbeya City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Kagera Sugar form and stats
1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligi kuu Bara numbers at home for Kagera Sugar so far this season.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Dodoma Jiji in the Ligi kuu Bara last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Namungo (1-2).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kagera have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won zero times, drawn one and lost three.
The lack of attacking qualities in Kagera means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. As for guarding their own goal, Kagera Sugar have only let in 2 goals at home.
Mbeya City form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Mbeya City, who have the fewest scored goals (1) in Ligi kuu Bara, playing as the away team in the Ligi kuu Bara this season.
Two away games in a row for Mbeya, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Mwadui in the Ligi kuu Bara. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Dodoma Jiji.
Mbeya are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and three defeats. From a total of six matches.
Mbeya City are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. Mbeya struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.
