It's early days in the Ligi kuu Bara and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Simba's home stadium. The visitors last 22 games on grass have ended in 14 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. Simba have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Kagera Sugar form and stats
A good away victory last time out for Kagera Sugar, who won 1-0 against Mbao (placed 9th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Alliance and winning 2-1.
Simba form and stats
Only one away game in the Ligi kuu Bara so far for Simba and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 15 victories, 2 draws and 2 losses from 19 travels.
The supporters enjoyed Simba's previous game versus Mtibwa Sugar (placed 18th), a Ligi kuu Bara 2-1 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against JKT Tanzania with the score of 3-1.
It's early days yet, but Simba has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Last eight meetings between the teams: Kagera Sugar won 4, Simba won 4 and 0 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.Kagera Sugar missing players
