Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Simba - Coastal Union!
Simba have less rest than Coastal Union in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Ligi kuu Bara game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Namungo, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Coastal Union's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Coastal Union have performed like this: Played four matches resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats with the goal stats 0-6 (scored/conceded).
Simba form and stats
Home games in the Ligi kuu Bara have been a walk in the park for Simba so far, with 20 points won from 8 matches; 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Simba has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Mwadui defeat 94 days ago.
The Simba supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Namungo in Ligi kuu Bara and win 3-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Alliance and winning 4-1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Simba as they have a new game in only three days, a Ligi kuu Bara match thankfully also at home. Polisi Tanzania are visiting.
Goals decide football matches and Simba are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 8 league matches. Simba are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 8 matches.
Coastal Union form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Coastal Union playing as the away team in the Ligi kuu Bara this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Coastal Union are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Coastal Union delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Biashara United (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Ligi kuu Bara game. Before that, Coastal Union secured a home win against Kagera Sugar with the score 1-0.
The schedule is very tough for Coastal Union now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligi kuu Bara game at JKT Tanzania is waiting in only three days.
Coastal Union find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. Coastal Union are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 6 times in 7 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
