Coastal Union vs Dodoma Jiji Prediction: A tight matchup expected

The Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara encounter between Coastal Union and Dodoma Jiji is scheduled to occur at Mkwakwani Stadium. Prior to this clash, only one point differentiates the teams, with Coastal Union in the lead.

Coastal Union recently played to a goalless draw against Kinondoni MC in their previous league fixture. However, preceding that draw, Coastal Union secured three consecutive victories. During this successful run, they triumphed over Geita Gold, Kagera Sugar, and JKT Tanzania, scoring five goals and conceding only one. As they approach the upcoming match, Coastal Union aims to narrow the gap with the top teams in the league standings, currently occupying the 6th position.

Despite a promising start to the season, Dodoma Jiji has encountered difficulties in securing victories recently. Out of their last six matches, the team managed to win only once, securing a 1-0 home victory against Ihefu. However, in the remaining five matches, Dodoma Jiji suffered defeats against Singida Fountain Gate, Tanzania Prisons, Namungo, and Young Africans. They could only salvage a single point in their encounter with Mashugaa. In the current league standings, Dodoma Jiji holds the 7th position with 19 points, having scored 13 goals and conceded 15 in 15 matches.

Both teams have significant stakes in this match, with the hosts aiming to maintain their current position and possibly close in on the top sides. Conversely, the visitors are determined to break free from their recent string of poor performances. Considering their past encounters in this fixture, I anticipate a draw with both teams finding the net in this match.
