Coastal Union vs Tanzania Prisons Prediction: We expect a lot of defensive play

Coastal Union and Tanzania Prisons will square it off at the Mkwakwani Stadium in the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara. How will this encounter end?

Coastal Union are off a win against Geita Gold, a game that ended 1-0. In that encounter, the first half 23-minute goal by Dennis Modzaka was the difference, giving Coastal Union maximum points. In the prior encounters, it is worth noting that Coastal Union ended on the losing end in consecutive matches against Namungo and Young Africans. However, this team has won four of their last five home matches. In those encounters, we witnessed fewer than two goals in four games. This season in the Ligi Kuu Bara, Coastal Union have accumulated 33 points, scoring 18 goals while conceding 18.

Tanzania Prisons are off a winless run of five matches, and they hope to return to winning ways coming here. In the meantime, four encounters saw Tanzania Prisons go four games that ended in draws, coming against JKT Tanzania, Kinondoni MC, Geita Gold, and Kagera Sugar. However, one of those encounters ended in a 2-1 defeat. In those encounters, Tanzania Prisons scored three goals while conceding four. Tanzania Prisons have accumulated 31 points in the league from 24 matches, positioning them 6th in the standings.

The last five encounters between these sides ended in three wins for Coastal Union, while Tanzania Prisons won one. However, one ended in a goalless draw. Tanzania Prisons scored one goal in those encounters, while Coastal Union scored four. 

These are two defensive sides, and we have seen a glimpse of this in their prior meetings. At the moment, these sides have conceded or scored a maximum of one goal in most of their games, and looking at the fact that they have nothing to lose here, I expect them to settle for a draw at full-time.
