Simba have been superior to Mbeya City so far, but every fixture opens at 0-0. Here's all the data you require before kickoff:

Insights:
  • Simba have the most points (32) at home in Ligi kuu Bara
  • Mbeya City have yet to win a game away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Mbeya City have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 0-2-4 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Mbeya City, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

Simba form and stats

10-2-0 is the performance here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium so far in the Ligi kuu Bara, giving Simba a total of 32 from their 12 games here. Outstanding results! Two home wins in a row for Simba bring valid hopes of a third.

An away draw last time out for Simba, facing Geita Gold in a game that ended 1-1.

1-1 away at Azam before that.

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. KMC are visiting.

The Simba fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. Simba have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.

Mbeya City form and stats

Mbeya City have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, after 0-8-5 (13 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.

Mbeya City have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 277 minutes ago. Ambokile was the goal scorer.

Mbeya City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Coastal Union proved too strong as Mbeya City slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Sokoine Stadium.

A 0-3 defeat away at KMC before that.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Ligi kuu Bara trip to Ruvu Shooting.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 15 goals have been conceded by Mbeya in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have battled earlier this season: Mbeya City - Simba 1-0. Simba-Mbeya City H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Simba eight wins, Mbeya City one win, one draw. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
