Life has been a bit difficult for Tanzania Prisons so far, and that also applies to Coastal Union. These students from the school of hard knocks eye some vital points here.

Insights:
  • Tanzania Prisons have the fewest scored goals (14) in Ligi kuu Bara
  • Coastal Union have won significantly less corners away then at home.

These teams have little in common geographically as Coastal Union have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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 Tanzania Prisons and Coastal Union.

Tanzania Prisons form and stats

The story so far in the Ligi kuu Bara for Tanzania Prisons at their home stadium (Sokoine Stadium) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. When Tanzania Prisons hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Ruvu Shooting, Tanzania Prisons, Mbeya Kwanza, Dodoma Jiji and Biashara United), they have won 2 of 4 matches! The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Sokoine Stadium.

A nice win for Tanzania last time playing, versus Coastal Union. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0. The home team have an in-form goalscorer in Fridrikas, having found the net in three consecutive games.

Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Dodoma Jiji.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Coastal Union form and stats

The visitors are W3-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Ligi kuu Bara. It's a growing despair in Coastal Union as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Coastal Union, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Tanzania Prisons (placed 15th).

A 1-2 loss hosting Simba before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Coastal as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Coastal Union as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.

Tanzania and Coastal Union have met previously this season: Tanzania Prisons - Coastal Union 1-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Tanzania Prisons victories, four draws and three Coastal Union wins.
