Ihefu vs Coastal Union Prediction: The hosts won’t hold back at halftime

On Saturday, Moses Basena will play his first game as an Ihefu coach against Coastal Union at the Sokoine Stadium. Home teams have always triumphed in this fixture, and we expect the new tactician to kick off his campaign with a commanding performance here.

Last five games: LWLWL

For the second third this season, Ihefu suffered a defeat as Ibrahim Mao's lone goal was enough to hand KMC the maximum points. Ihefu, who went into the encounter in high hope following their (2-1) victory over Young Africans, was stunned in the 60th minute.

After spending most of their time struggling for survival, Ihefu pulled off a great run of wins and finished in sixth spot last season courtesy of coach Katwila, who was sacked five days ago.

Ihefu sit in the 8th spot on the log following their (1-0) loss against KMC. They have scored three times this season while conceding five times.

Last four games: LDLDL

The visitors are yet to register a win in this campaign, losing three and sharing the spoils two times. After their toothless draw against Tabora at home, Coastal Union bowed to a more formidable side as they were beaten by Azam.

The result was their seventh game without a win since last season. After enduring a hurdle last season, surviving the relegation playoff by just a point, Coastal Union have been below average in this campaign.

Coastal Union will be lucky to get anything from this fixture as the Ihefu will be at their highest possible level in front of their home fans.

Coastal Union have won three, while Ihefu have won twice over their previous five meetings. Ihefu tried their best against KMC but couldn’t penetrate the opponent's defence—the same as Coastal Union, who succumbed to a strong Azam side. Ihefu will be desperate to bounce back at their own turf, where they defeated the league champions the last time. We can’t see the visitors posing a threat against the home team; bet on Ihefu win for 1.83.

A correct score of (2-0) might surface here for 6.20.

We expect Ihefu to win and score more than once for 2.01.

Good luck!
