Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Lipuli in 9th and JKT Tanzania in 7th place.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligi kuu Bara. That game was an away game at Mtibwa Sugar, so at least Lipuli are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Lipuli form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here as Lipuli have scored 21 goals to get 20 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the Ligi kuu Bara are 6-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). Lipuli has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was Coastal Union.
Lipuli enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Mtibwa Sugar's place. The match ended 1-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Young Africans (1-2).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lipuli, as the Ligi kuu Bara home game vs Simba is only three days away.
Lipuli can score goals in their home matches. After 9 league matches they have found the net 21 times. From these home matches, Lipuli have conceded only 8 goals.
JKT Tanzania form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Ligi kuu Bara.
It's the second away game in a row for JKT Tanzania, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Simba (placed 1st) in the Ligi kuu Bara last time out. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Coastal Union.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Ligi kuu Bara trip to Mtibwa Sugar.
JKT Tanzania are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 9 away games so far. 10 goals have been conceded by JKT Tanzania in these games.
