A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Namungo fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Mbeya City's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Namungo and Mbeya City should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Namungo are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Mbeya are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Namungo form and stats
Namungo have performed here this season with 11 wins from 17 Ligi kuu Bara matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 5 games and lost 1. Namungo haven’t lost a league-game in 19 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Simba, 167 days ago. The Namungo fans aren't used to losing league-games here and will expect new points from this game. Namungo has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
The spoils were shared in Namungo's previous game, also at home. Visiting Simba (placed 1st) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that, Namungo had a home game versus JKT Tanzania which ended with a victory 1-0.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligi kuu Bara game versus Tanzania Prisons in only three days. This game is also played here.
Namungo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 17 games. Namungo are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 17 matches.
Mbeya City form and stats
There's been little loot from Mbeya City's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Mbeya City only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Mbeya City have lost on their last two travels.
Mbeya are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Ligi kuu Bara against Coastal Union (placed 5th). That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus JKT Tanzania.
The schedule is very tough for Mbeya now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligi kuu Bara game at Ndanda is waiting in only three days.
The visitors have scored 11 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Mbeya have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
