It's still early in the Ligi kuu Bara season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the KMC - Coastal Union preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
KMC form and stats
KMC must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Ligi kuu Bara games here at Uhuru Stadium.
Stress levels are on the rise for KMC's attacking players as they have now played 186 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Lusajo was their last goal scorer.
The KMC fans got no joy from their last match, a Ligi kuu Bara game also here at Uhuru Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Polisi Tanzania (placed 4th). Prior to that, an away loss at Kagera Sugar.
KMC are traveling soon after this match as the Ligi kuu Bara match at Ruvu Shooting awaits in two days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), KMC's attacking play is working. From these home matches, KMC have conceded only 2 goals.
Coastal Union form and stats
It's not happening yet for Coastal Union on their Ligi kuu Bara travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Coastal manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
There might be some fixture complaints from Coastal as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ligi kuu Bara match against Young Africans (0-3). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus JKT Tanzania.
After this away game Coastal return home for a Ligi kuu Bara game against Biashara United. That game is only one sleeps after this.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Coastal's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. Coastal Union have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: one - two - one (KMC wins - draws - Coastal Union wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.KMC missing players
