Mtibwa Sugar are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Kagera are struggling to avoid relegation.

Kagera Sugar have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Mtibwa Sugar form and stats

Mtibwa Sugar, who have the most conceded goals (44) in Ligi kuu Bara, have played 13 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Mtibwa Sugar are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

No payout for Mtibwa Sugar in their previous match, an away game at Polisi Tanzania that ended in defeat 1-3.

Prior to that, an away loss at Coastal Union.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Mtibwa Sugar handle that role? We have found 6 games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Mtibwa as they have a new game in only two days, a Ligi kuu Bara match thankfully also at home. Geita Gold are visiting.

Mtibwa Sugar are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. Mtibwa Sugar have conceded 17 in these home matches.

Kagera Sugar form and stats

There's been little loot from Kagera Sugar's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Kagera Sugar only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. Kagera seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Kaitaba Stadium. Kagera Sugar suffered a 0-1 loss to Tanzania Prisons (placed 8th).

Before that, Kagera Sugar secured a home win against Mbeya City with the score 1-0.

Kagera are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

A tale of few goals? 9 of this team's latest 10 league fixtures have had zero, one or two goals.

The schedule is very tough for Kagera Sugar now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligi kuu Bara game at Ihefu is waiting in only two days.

The attacking power of Kagera Sugar when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Kagera Sugar struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 21 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Kagera Sugar have avoided defeat in the last 5 fixtures (3-2-0) against Mtibwa.

Kagera Sugar - Mtibwa Sugar 1-0 was the story when this pair of squads last did battle, also in this season.
