Insights:
  • Simba have the most scored goals (74) in Ligi kuu Bara
  • Simba have scored more than double the goals of Namungo.

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 Simba and Namungo.

Simba are already the Ligi kuu Bara winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Namungo is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
