With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Mbao fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against KMC.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mbao and KMC.
Mbao form and stats
With 1 Ligi kuu Bara win, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Mbao are certainly not brimming with confidence.
The Mbao crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Azam here at CCM Kirumba Stadium in a Ligi kuu Bara match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Polisi Tanzania and winning 1-0.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mbao here at CCM Kirumba Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 8 games). 8 goals have been conceded.
KMC form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of KMC playing as the away team in the Ligi kuu Bara this season. KMC seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
It might be tough going out on the road again for KMC, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Alliance (placed 5th). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Kagera Sugar.
The schedule is very tough for KMC now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligi kuu Bara game at Polisi Tanzania is waiting in only four days.
KMC are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 4 away games. KMC have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 0 - 1 - 1 (Mbao wins - draws - KMC wins). As for goals, 0 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.Mbao missing players
