Struggling Kagera Sugar will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Simba in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Kagera Sugar have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Simba have the most scored goals (52) in Ligi kuu Bara
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
16-3-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Simba when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 24 matches are 37-13 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Simba have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Kagera Sugar form and stats
Kagera Sugar have collected 18 points from their Ligi kuu Bara home games so far after 5-3-5. All in all it has been a very rough period for Kagera Sugar who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Coastal Union, 124 days ago. The Kagera manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
An away draw last time out for Kagera, facing Mtibwa Sugar in a game that ended 1-1. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Mbeya City the opponent.
Kagera are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. Kagera Sugar are not conceding a lot of goals here at Kaitaba Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 13 matches.
Simba form and stats
Simba's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Simba, who have the most scored goals (52) in Ligi kuu Bara, collect 23 points from their 10 away matches in the Ligi kuu Bara. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). In general it has been a productive period now for Simba as they haven't lost any of their last 15 games. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Simba's record of five away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Young Africans game.
The Simba goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 215 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Simba, whose manager D. Gomes Da Rosa could celebrate last time after the Ligi kuu Bara win against Mwadui. A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Mtibwa Sugar.
The Simba manager D. Gomes Da Rosa has got the team scoring on the road, with 20 away goals in 10 league matches. Simba are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 5 away goals have been conceded so far.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Simba - Kagera 2-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Kagera won four, Simba won six and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Kagera Sugar missing players
