Playing at their own ground feels comfortable and nice for Mtibwa Sugar, but Namungo are fully set and able to get all three points. What happens today?
- Namungo have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Ligi kuu Bara
Relegation threatens Mtibwa Sugar who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Namungo most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
The hosts Mtibwa saw competitive action as recent as two days ago, playing in the Ligi kuu Bara. That game was an away game at Simba, so at least Mtibwa Sugar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Mtibwa Sugar form and stats
Mtibwa Sugar have played 14 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-6-4 (wins-draws-losses).
The club members are hoping that Mtibwa will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the match against Simba (placed 2nd).
Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Ruvu Shooting.There will be little rest for Mtibwa Sugar after this match as they are travelling to Young Africans for a Ligi kuu Bara game in only four days.
Mtibwa aren't scoring a lot here at Manungu Stadium in the league, with only 11 goals from 14 games. From these home matches, Mtibwa Sugar have conceded only 9 goals.
Namungo form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligi kuu Bara travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Namungo as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Tanzania Prisons match.
The manager Suleiman was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium. Namungo suffered a 0-1 loss to Coastal Union (placed 6th).
A 1-2 loss hosting Polisi Tanzania before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Namungo manager Suleiman as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Mbeya City.
The attacking power of Namungo when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
These sides faced each other previously this season: Namungo - Mtibwa 3-1. Statistics for the former five meetings featuring these two sides are: one win for Mtibwa Sugar, one draw and three wins for Namungo. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: four games.Mtibwa Sugar missing players
