Venue: Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium (60000 seats)

A win for the hosts is anticipated from this game if the league standings is to be believed. The Simba club members are confident that the contrast between 2nd and Ruvu Shooting's 16th place in the table will be revealed on the grass.

Insights:
  • Simba have the most scored goals (63) in Ligi kuu Bara
  • Ruvu Shooting have the fewest scored goals (18) in Ligi kuu Bara

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Ruvu Shooting 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 0-0-5 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.

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.
