This could be an interesting match as Mbeya City have their presumed home advantage while Biashara United are ahead 11 points in the Ligi kuu Bara table.

Insights:
  • Biashara United have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

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 Mbeya and Biashara United.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Mbeya are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Biashara have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 4th place no matter what happens.

Mbeya City form and stats

Mbeya City have collected 23 points from their Ligi kuu Bara home games so far after 5-8-3. Mbeya has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Sokoine Stadium. We remember; it was Kagera Sugar.

A nice win for Mbeya last time playing, versus Gwambina. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.

Heartbreak before that as Mbeya City lost 1-4 at Simba's place.

Mbeya are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 16 games. As for guarding their own goal, Mbeya have only let in 8 goals at home. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Biashara United form and stats

Playing away, Biashara United have won 4 games, drawn 6 and suffered 6 defeats in the Ligi kuu Bara this season.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Tanzania Prisons (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The Ligi kuu Bara match ended in a draw 1-1.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus JKT Tanzania.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Biashara United's away games in the league this season with only 8 goals from 16 matches. As opposed to that, Biashara United have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
