Mtibwa Sugar form and stats
5-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligi kuu Bara numbers at home for Mtibwa Sugar so far this season.
Mtibwa Sugar have scored 6 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. As for guarding their own goal, Mtibwa have only let in 4 goals at home.
Ihefu form and stats
Ihefu, who have the fewest points (2) away in Ligi kuu Bara, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 0-2-7 (9 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Ihefu's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Ihefu lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ihefu's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 9 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ihefu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
