With their 33 point advantage in the league table, Ruvu Shooting fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Singida United.
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 Ruvu Shooting and Singida United.
Ruvu Shooting's stadium has a grass surface. Singida United have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Singida United when playing on grass; 2 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses from 16 matches. They have scored 9 goals in these games and conceded 20.
Relegation threatens Ruvu Shooting who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Singida it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
Ruvu Shooting form and stats
Ruvu Shooting have collected 36 points from their Ligi kuu Bara home games so far after 10-6-3.
Shooting's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Mwadui (placed 15th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Biashara United the opponent.
Shooting are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 19 games. From these home matches, Ruvu Shooting have conceded only 15 goals.
Singida United form and stats
There's been little loot from Singida United's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 18 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Singida United, who have the most conceded goals (72) in Ligi kuu Bara, only have 1 win to counter their 13 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Singida have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Mbeya City game. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Singida who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.
There might be some fixture complaints from Singida United as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ligi kuu Bara match against Young Africans (1-3). Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting KMC's place.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kagera Sugar in just four days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Singida's away games in the league this season with only 8 goals from 18 matches. For Singida United, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
