With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Tanzania Prisons fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Mbao.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Mbao have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Tanzania Prisons form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligi kuu Bara, Tanzania Prisons have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Tanzania Prisons after consecutive victories at their own ground.
A nice win for Tanzania Prisons last time playing, versus Alliance. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0.
Tanzania Prisons have scored 11 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Tanzania Prisons have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mbao form and stats
There's been little loot from Mbao's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 15 away games in the Ligi kuu Bara. Mbao only have 2 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. With the Mbao losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
The attacking players of Mbao have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 405 minutes.
Mbao play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Mbeya City (placed 17th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against KMC wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mbao's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 15 matches. Mbao struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 23 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Mbao - Tanzania Prisons 1-1. Tanzania Prisons-Mbao H2H statistics last eight meetings regardless of arena: Tanzania Prisons four wins, Mbao two wins, two draws. two of these eight matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Tanzania Prisons missing players
