Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Simba form and stats

Simba, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) away in Ligi kuu Bara, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 25 points collected from 10 games. 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the record so far. Simba have an excellent away record so far with 8-1-1 from 10 games. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Simba have lost on their last two travels.

Two away games in a row for Simba, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus TP Mazembe in the CAF Champions League. A draw for Simba before that, at their own venue hosting TP Mazembe (0-0).
