Struggling Singida United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Young Africans in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Singida United form and stats
With 0 Ligi kuu Bara wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Singida United are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Mbao game. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Singida United to get some points in this home game.
The Singida United crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to KMC here in a Ligi kuu Bara match. Before that game, the home loss against Azam with the scoreline 1-2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Singida United as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligi kuu Bara match thankfully also at home. Ruvu Shooting are visiting.
Singida United has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 6 games. On the other hand, Singida United have conceded 8 goals.
Young Africans form and stats
Young Africans have an excellent away record in the Ligi kuu Bara so far with 4-2-0 from 6 games. In general it has been a productive period now for Young Africans as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.
Young Africans are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Simba (placed 1st). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Biashara United.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Young Africans manager M. Zahera as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Mwadui.
Young Africans are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). The Young Africans defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (3 goals in 6 games).
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between the teams: Singida United won 0, Young Africans won 1 and 4 draws. 0 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.Singida United missing players
