This could be an interesting match as Tanzania Prisons have their presumed home advantage while Simba are ahead 34 points in the Ligi kuu Bara table.
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.
