Mtibwa Sugar vs Kagera Sugar Prediction: The hosts will finally get their first three points of the season

The Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara resumes as Mtibwa Sugar hosts Kagera Sugar at the Manungu Stadium on Friday. Mtibwa Sugar are looking for their first victory since the season began, while the visitors head here with a three game unbeaten run.

Last five games: LDDLL

The hosts have drawn twice and lost three games since the season commenced. Following their (0-1) home defeat against Singida BS, Mtibwa Sugar suffered back-to-back losses on the road to Tanzania Prisons. They went from a winning position to conceding twice before the final whistle. 

Mtibwa, who endured relegation with three points, have had a slow start to the season. They have scored six and let in ten goals this season.

Mtibwa Sugar have conceded in each of their last five games this season, and it’ll be hard to shut out the visitors.

After back-to-back defeats at the beginning of their season, Kagera Sugar are now unbeaten in their previous three games. A win against Geita Gold was followed by a share of the spoils on the road against JKT Tanzania and a home share of the spoils to Namungo FC. Kagera Sugar, who struck first in their most recent game, failed to protect the lead as the visitors responded to split points. 

The victory against Geita Gold was their only victory in Kagera Sugar’s last eight games, and they’ll have to be at their best to get anything from this game. 

Over their previous sixteen meetings, Kagera Sugar have won eight while Mtibwa Sugar have managed six victories and two games ending in a tie. Both teams won on their ground last season, and we might see a replicate of such a result here. Mtibwa Sugar have conceded in each of their last five games, but we expect them to get their first three points of the season on their ground; bet on a home win either half for 1.69.

Both sides might get a goal apiece here for 2.34.

We expect more than two goals in this encounter; bet on over 2.5 goals for 2.60.

Good luck!
