Mbeya City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 19th position in the Ligi kuu Bara table. Visiting Lipuli holds 10th place with 29 pts.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Mbeya City form and stats
With 1 Ligi kuu Bara win, 4 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Mbeya City are certainly not brimming with confidence.
No payout for Mbeya City in their previous match, an away game at Ruvu Shooting that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that game was the away draw at Young Africans that finished 1-1.
Mbeya City have scored 7 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Mbeya City have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Lipuli form and stats
There's been little loot from Lipuli's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Lipuli only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Ligi kuu Bara match played at their home ground Samora Stadium. Lipuli suffered a 0-1 loss to Simba (placed 1st). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting JKT Tanzania.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Lipuli have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Lipuli - Mbeya City 2-2. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: one - two - two (Mbeya City wins - draws - Lipuli wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Mbeya City missing players
