Geita Gold vs Tanzania Prisons Prediction: A much needed encounter for the home side

Nyankumbu Stadium will be the venue for this round 23 Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara action between Geita Gold and Tanzania Prisons in week 23. Off to this game, both sides settled for a point in their last meeting that ended goalless. Will either side take all three points this time?

Geita Gold could only salvage a point from their last game, which was an encounter against Mtibwa Sugar. In that game, Geita Gold were behind in the 15th minute, with Jimson Stephen scoring for Sugar. However, Yussuf Mhilu leveled the scores for Geita Gold in the 20th minute of the game, while Valentino Mashaka put them in the lead just 16 minutes later. However, Geita Gold did not continue where they stopped in the first half, and they saw themselves concede the second of the game, which gave Mtibwa Sugar a point in that game, thanks to Omary Ally Marungu’s goal. Going to host this game, Geita Gold have now seen their last three home games end without a defeat. In the meantime, they have scored six in their last five home matches, while they conceded eight in that run.

Tanzania Prisons are off their second straight draws, both ending in identical scores of 1-1. In those games, they played against JKT Tanzania and their recent coming against Kinondoni MC. However, a look at Tanzania's last five league games has ended with just one defeat, a road game against Mtibwa Sugar. However, Tanzania Prisons defeated Simba and Tabora United in that same span. Heading into this game, Tanzania Prisons are seated 6th in the league standings with 29 points from 22 games.

The two teams have faced each other just five times in their club history, and two games have ended in draws. In the meantime, two different games favored Geita Gold, while Tanzania Prisons were victorious in one road game. There were 13 goals scored in those matches, seven for Geita Gold and six for Tanzania Prisons.

This match will be a game decided by how well either side can get into it. Geita Gold held Tanzania Prisons into a goalless game in the reverse fixture of this match, and at home, I expect them to go all out for three points. Also, looking at the two teams' previous meetings and recent games suggests we could be in for a high-scoring afternoon odds of over 2.5 goals being 2.20 on bet365.
