The league table in Ligi kuu Bara tells a story about these teams so far, with Simba leading Mwadui by 4 points. Match preview to follow:
Simba have less rest than Mwadui in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Ligi kuu Bara game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Mwadui have had more rest.
Simba's stadium, Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium, has a artifical turf surface. Mwadui have grass 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 Mwadui when playing on artifical turf; 0 wins, 0 draws and 8 losses from eight matches. They have scored 5 goals in these games and conceded 20.
It's quite the trip for Mwadui when visiting Simba as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
