An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligi kuu Bara, with both Mbeya City and KMC experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 14th place.
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 City and KMC.
Mbeya City form and stats
Mbeya City's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 10 Ligi kuu Bara games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-5.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Azam in the Ligi kuu Bara last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that, Mbeya City had a home game versus Ndanda which ended with a victory 1-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mbeya City as they are travelling to their away game against Tanzania Prisons in the Ligi kuu Bara. That match is three days after this one.
Mbeya City aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 7 goals from 10 games. 14 goals have been conceded.
KMC form and stats
KMC have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 2-3-6 (11 played).
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 0-1 versus Tanzania Prisons (placed 10th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Ruvu Shooting with the score of 3-1.
KMC has another fixture away, a Ligi kuu Bara game, against Azam in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 13 goals have been conceded by KMC in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Mbeya City, zero draws and one win for KMC. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Mbeya City missing players
