Azam FC vs Mashujaa FC Prediction: The hosts will run riot against the visitors

The arena is established for one of the most anticipated games of the season as Azam FC lock horns against Mashujaa FC at the Azam Complex Stadium on Wednesday. 

Last four games: WWDWW

Youssouph Dabo's men have proven they’re ready to fight till the end for the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara trophy this season. Following their back-to-back wins against Young Africans and Namungo, Azam FC reduced the deficit at the top of the log. 

Azam FC have scored forty-nine goals since the season began, conceding sixteen times. The hosts are second on the log, as they are now five points behind the league leaders. 

Azam FC have picked up twenty-eight points from a combined thirty-three on their ground this season. 

Last five games: DWWLL

The visitors had some setbacks in their attempt to survive relegation this season, losing back to back to Coastal Union and Simba SC. More recently, they suffered a shocking defeat on their home turf against a well-organized Coastal Union and must now win here to stand a chance of surviving relegation. 

They have been playing exceptionally well in recent games, although they march here with a defeat on their ground. Mashujaa have been pretty solid offensively but have just kept two clean sheets in seventeen of their last nineteen matches. They have picked up twenty-one points from a combined sixty-six, losing the league's second-most matches (11).

Mashujaa have won once, drawn four, and lost six on the road this season. 

Azam FC are the closest team to Simba SC and Young Africans, and we expect them to give the defending champions a run for their money this season. The last time they were on their ground, they defeated Young Africans, and we don’t think the visitors will give them much trouble. This isn’t going to be a walk in the park for the hosts, but we believe they’ll eventually be at the top of their game. One thing is certain here: the hosts will win comfortably in front of their supporters; bet on a home halftime victory for 2.05.

We expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.07.

Azam FC will be desperate to shut out their lousy opponent; bet on a home win and over 2.5 goals for 3.20.

Good luck!
