An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligi kuu Bara, with both Mbeya City and Ihefu experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 18th place.
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!
Mbeya City form and stats
Three Ligi kuu Bara home games done for Mbeya City, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
A good away victory last time out for Mbeya, who won 2-1 against Kagera Sugar (placed 16th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Mwadui.
The lack of attacking qualities in Mbeya means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Mbeya City are not conceding a lot of goals here at Sokoine Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Ihefu form and stats
No Ligi kuu Bara points yet away for Ihefu, from their first 3 matches. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ihefu are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Ihefu are looking to quickly end their 623 minutes long goal drought in the Ligi kuu Bara.
Ihefu's last game was the home draw against Namungo (0-0). A loss against Azam was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Ihefu are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 0 goals from 3 away games. Ihefu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
