This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligi kuu Bara, Mbeya City holding 17th place and Alliance lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Mbeya City and Alliance should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Mbeya City form and stats
Mbeya City have played 14 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-4-6 (wins-draws-losses). Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Mbeya City, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Mbeya City's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Mbao (placed 19th). The home side are looking to build on that result.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mbeya City here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). On the other hand, Mbeya City have conceded 16 goals.
Alliance form and stats
Alliance have only collected 15 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 4-3-8 (15 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Alliance in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kagera Sugar. With the Alliance losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Alliance play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Tanzania Prisons (placed 11th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Azam wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Alliance as they have only managed to score 8 times from 15 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).
