Struggling Ndanda will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Simba in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Simba have already won the Ligi kuu Bara. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.
Ndanda form and stats
Ndanda have played 15 Ligi kuu Bara games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). Ndanda are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
Ndanda lost their last game at Young Africans (placed 3rd) after a 2-3 scoreline.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligi kuu Bara game versus JKT Tanzania in only three days. This game is also played here at Nangwanda Sijaona Stadium.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Ndanda here at Nangwanda Sijaona Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (14 from 15 games). From these home matches, Ndanda have conceded only 10 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, 2 draws and only 2 losses in the Ligi kuu Bara. Simba has drawn their two previous away games.
The attacking players of Simba have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 215 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Simba goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 413 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Simba has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Tanzania Prisons for a Ligi kuu Bara game that ended a draw (0-0). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Tanzania Prisons that ended 0-0.
Simba has another fixture away, a Ligi kuu Bara game, against Namungo in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Simba are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 29 times in 16 away games so far. The Simba defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (7 goals in 16 games).
