Azam FC vs Young Africans Prediction: This highly anticipated encounter won’t deprive us of goals

The arena is established for one of the most anticipated games of the season as Tanzania giants Young Africans lock horns against an inform Azam FC at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday. Tanzania FA have chosen Benjamin Mkapa Stadium for this showdown in what happens to be unfair to Azam FC, nonetheless, the hosts are the second most attacking team in the tournament and we expect them to show the football world what they are made of.

Youssouph Dabo's men have been inconsistent lately as they march here with another share of the spoils on their ground. Feisal Salam saved the hosts from the blushes when he found the back of the net in the 80th minute to cancel Coastal Union early lead. You’ll agree with me that the hosts have been trying to get back to their usual rhythm in recent weeks, having scored not more than a goal in three consecutive matches. The stalemate was a setback in their efforts to challenge Young Africans for the Ligi Buru title. Azam FC have scored forty-five goals since the season began, conceding fifteen times. The hosts are third on the log, as they are now eight points behind the league leaders. 

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

The Yanga Boys look like they will retain their title with a seven point gap at the top of the log. Azeez Ki scored the only goal that won them the maximum points on their ground against a solid Geita Gold side. That was Young Africans' only game where they have failed to score more than a goal in five games. Young Africans have scored in seven consecutive games and have conceded just three goals in those periods. They have improved defensively and are scoring for fun again. Yanga Boys have picked up fifty two points from a combined fifty-seven. They have won seven, lost once and drawn a game on the road in this league. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Azam FC have won five and shared the spoils five times, while Young Africans have recorded ten wins. Another below par performance for Azam on their ground as they fought for a point against Coastal Union. The defeat might be the end of their title chase, however, this is another opportunity to rewrite their mistakes. At the same time, Young Africans are balling again and have won six consecutive matches. Despite the host’s dominance against teams below them, they have struggled against Yanga Boys. The visitors have won four straight matches against Azam FC and are unbeaten in seven games. 

This isn’t going to be a walk in a park for the visitors but we think they’ll eventually be at the top of their game. One thing is certain here, both teams will get a goal apiece for 1.98.

We expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.02.

I feel both teams will be pleased with a point apiece; bet on home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 3.90.

Good luck!
