Competition: Tanzania Ligi kuu Bara
Competition: Sat 18.July
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Young Africans leading Mwadui by 24 points.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Mwadui's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Mwadui have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 0 wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 5-17 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Mwadui when visiting Young Africans as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Africans can neither be promoted or relegated from Ligi kuu Bara. Mwadui are struggling to avoid relegation.

Young Africans form and stats

Young Africans are steadily winning Ligi kuu Bara games and points here. 10 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 18 games. In general it's been a long time since Africans tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last eleven home games in the league.

A nice win for Africans last time playing, versus Singida United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Africans as they are travelling to their away game against Mtibwa Sugar in the Ligi kuu Bara. That match is four days after this one.

Africans has scored 26 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. From these home matches, Young Africans have conceded only 17 goals.

Mwadui form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mwadui so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-12 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Mwadui in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Mbao. Three has not been a lucky number for Mwadui as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Mtibwa Sugar match.

Mwadui lost away at Ruvu Shooting (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 0-1 defeat away at Azam before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Biashara United in just four days.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 18 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Mwadui rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 30 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Mwadui - Africans 0-1. Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Young Africans, two draws and one win for Mwadui. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
