A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Simba fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Singida United's 20th place in the table will show on the pitch.
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 Singida United.
Simba form and stats
Simba, who have the most scored goals (55) in Ligi kuu Bara, have been very solid at home in the Ligi kuu Bara so far, with 35 points collected from 14 matches (11-2-1). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. It’s been three wins in a row for Simba here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
No payout for Simba in their previous match, an away game at Young Africans that ended in defeat 0-1. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Azam.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (28 in 14 games), Simba's attacking play is working. Simba have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Singida United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Singida United, who have the most conceded goals (40) in Ligi kuu Bara, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-8 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Singida United, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Ruvu Shooting game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
The attacking power of Singida United when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Singida United have conceded 21 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
