A key match in Ligi kuu Bara as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Namungo in 4th position and Simba placed 1st, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Namungo and Simba.
Namungo are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Happy, happy days for Simba who are already winners of the Ligi kuu Bara. This could affect their motivation.
Namungo form and stats
Namungo are steadily winning Ligi kuu Bara games and points here. 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 16 games. Namungo haven’t lost a league-game in 18 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Simba, 160 days ago. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Namungo after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The Namungo supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host JKT Tanzania in Ligi kuu Bara and win 1-0. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Ruvu Shooting the opponent.
Namungo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 16 games. From these home matches, Namungo have conceded only 9 goals.
Simba form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (69) in Ligi kuu Bara, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 12 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses in the Ligi kuu Bara. It's three draws from Simba's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better. The last three matches for Simba have all ended in a draw.
J. Bocco was the last player to score for the away team. Simba haven't scored a league goal in the last 305 minutes. The Simba goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 503 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Simba are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Ndanda (placed 17th). A 0-0 draw at Tanzania Prisons's stadium before that.
Simba has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 29 goals from 17 games. Simba's manager P. Aussems has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 7 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
