The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Namungo are in the 10th position while the guesting Ihefu worry at 17th.
- Namungo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Ihefu have the most conceded goals in the first half (18) in Ligi kuu Bara
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a CAF Confederations Cup match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Nkana, was also a home game here at Majaliwa Stadium. The away team is better rested.
Namungo form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligi kuu Bara, Namungo have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Namungo, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 181 minutes in the Ligi kuu Bara.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Pyramids FC (0-2).
The manager H. Suleiman will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nkana in only three days.
The Namungo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Namungo have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ihefu form and stats
There's been little loot from Ihefu's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 12 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Ihefu only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Ihefu much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Namungo will be a tough nut to crack.
Ihefu aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. A. Simchimba was the last player to find the net.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Ihefu's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 12 matches. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Ihefu's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
