Mtibwa Sugar vs Singida BS Prediction: The visitors can’t be underestimated

On Thursday, Mtibwa Sugar will face off against Singida BS at the Manungu Stadium. Singida BS's last victory on the road was against Dodoma Jiji last year, in December, while the home team are still searching for their first win on their ground.

The home side have drawn twice and lost a game since the season began. After their (2-4) home defeat against Simba in their opening-day fixture, they came from a goal down to secure a point. More recently, Mtibwa settled for a share of the spoils on the road to Dodoma Jiji.

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

The Big Stars are yet to win any of their last two games in the league; in fact, they have scored once and conceded two times. Their opening games against Tanzania Prisons ended in a (0-0) stalemate, the same as the game against Tabora United. More recently, they suffered a defeat on the road against Azam FC as the home side denied them a point after restoring the lead in the 91st minute.

Despite their form in the Tanzania League, Singida BS head here after being knocked out by Future FC in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Both sides picked up three points at home last season, keeping a clean sheet in both games. Singida BS head here five days after their disappointing outing in Egypt. They’ll now focus their efforts on making the top four after being eliminated from the tournament. On the other side, Mtibwa are yet to impress this season and have failed to win even though they have played two average sides. Mtibwa have conceded in all their games since the start of the season, which means they are not tidy at the back. We think the visitors have enough arsenal to draw the first blood here for 2.31.

Singida BS are a quality side; we think they’ll torment the opponent's defence.

This encounter might end in a halftime draw for 1.85.

Good luck!
