Competition: Tanzania Ligi kuu Bara
Competition: Wed 26.February
Match begins: 10:00 (UTC)

Only a win will satisfy the Simba supporters in this clash with Mbeya City, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Ligi kuu Bara table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Mbeya City's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Mbeya City have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 0 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats with the goal stats 5-17 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Mbeya City when visiting Simba as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Simba form and stats

32 points is a decent return from 13 Ligi kuu Bara games here for Simba. The data says 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Simba after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Simba supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Biashara United in Ligi kuu Bara and win 3-1. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Kagera Sugar.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (26 in 13 games), Simba's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Simba have conceded only 8 goals.
