- Mbeya City has the fewest scored goals in the first half (3) in Ligi kuu Bara
- KMC have scored more than double the goals of Mbeya City.

Mbeya City form and stats
With 0 Ligi kuu Bara wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Mbeya City, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Ligi kuu Bara, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home Ligi kuu Bara games in a row without a win, the Mbeya City fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Azam game long ago, can be stopped today.
Mbeya shared the glory with Gwambina in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Mbeya lost 0-3 at Biashara United's place.
The lack of attacking qualities in Mbeya City means that they have only scored 2 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Mbeya City have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for KMC so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). With the KMC losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. A depressing four defeats in a row for KMC in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Biashara United.
KMC have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 391 minutes ago. E. Mvuyekure was the goal scorer.
Two away games in a row for KMC, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus JKT Tanzania in the Ligi kuu Bara. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Ihefu's place.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 9 goals have been conceded by KMC in these games.
