Mashujaa FC
The hosts, who survived relegation last season, began their journey with a slim (1-0) victory over Dodoma Jiji on their ground. Crispin Ngushi's goal looked like an offside goal; however, the referee declared the goal anyway. They had some other opportunities to kill off the game but were ineffective in front of goal.
They have been playing exceptionally well since last season and have now won four consecutive games.
Mashujaa are expected to at least finish in the top half of the table this season after their decent signings in the transfer window.
Tanzania Prisons
David Ouma's men started their campaign with a negative stalemate against Pamba FC on the road. Tanzania Prisons were lucky to have carted away a point after their opponent created lots of chances and hit the post once.
Tanzania Prison survived relegation by just two points last season, and they’ll be keen to avoid such a run this time. Tanzania Prisons picked up thirty-four points from a combined ninety. The visiting team had a terrible ending, failing to win any of their last fourteen matches in the league.
Tanzania Prisons won twice, lost five, and drew eight times away from home last season.
Expert Betting Tips
Both teams have won one game apiece over their previous two meetings. The hosts have had an excellent start to the season, winning against a well-organized Dodoma Jiji. They’ll be determined to keep the ball rolling against a team who are yet to record a win over their last twelve league games.
Mashujaa are the favorite here, and we expect them to win or draw and score more than a goal for 1.90.
Both teams might settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.91.
This game will end in both halves under 1.5 goals for 1.60.
Good luck!
