Shooting faced defeat in their previous match, away at Namungo (1-2). Ahead of that match, Shooting won a home game hosting Mtibwa Sugar (2-0).
There will be little rest for Ruvu Shooting after this match as they are travelling to Gwambina for a Ligi kuu Bara game in only four days.

As for guarding their own goal, Shooting have only let in 2 goals at home. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Ihefu form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ihefu, who have the fewest points (2) away in Ligi kuu Bara, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-7 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ihefu are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Ihefu are travelling again after losing away to Simba in their previous match (0-4). Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Young Africans.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Simba was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Goals are few and far between in Ihefu's away league games. Only 1 goal from 9 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Ihefu rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 15 goals from these away matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
