Season ticket holders haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Mtibwa Sugar languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting KMC will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Relegation threatens Mtibwa Sugar who should definitely be looking for some points here. KMC are struggling to avoid relegation.
Mtibwa Sugar form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligi kuu Bara, Mtibwa Sugar have managed 7 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 16 games.
A nice win for Mtibwa last time playing, versus Azam. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Mbao (0-1).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Mtibwa as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligi kuu Bara match thankfully also at home. Young Africans are visiting.
Mtibwa has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Mtibwa Sugar are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 16 matches.
KMC form and stats
There's been little loot from KMC's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 19 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. KMC only have 2 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 5 draws.
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 0-2 versus Lipuli (placed 14th). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Singida United.
After this away game KMC return home for a Ligi kuu Bara game against Tanzania Prisons. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 19 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, KMC rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 29 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the KMC - Mtibwa Sugar 2-0 earlier this season. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's zero Mtibwa Sugar victories, one draw and two KMC wins.
