  • Namungo have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Ligi kuu Bara

Mbeya City are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Namungo is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

It's no vacation for neither Mbeya nor Namungo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Namungo form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Ligi kuu Bara, are W5-D4-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Ligi kuu Bara.

Two away games in a row for Namungo, whose manager Suleiman could celebrate last time after the win against Mtibwa Sugar. That win felt good as this team had gone four league fixtures without victory. As you can tell from the result, the match against Mtibwa Sugar was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Coastal Union.

We have checked recent matches where Namungo have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 5 games were 3 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Namungo have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Namungo have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
