Namungo vs Pamba Jiji Prediction: Namungo to clinch first win in this fixture

Majaliwa Stadium will be the venue for this round nine Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara action between Namungo and Pamba Jiji. Both teams suffered a defeat in their last league game. How will they approach this encounter?

Namungo are coming off a disappointing performance against Simba, a game that ended 3-0. In that encounter, Namungo conceded two goals in the first half, with Shomari Kapombe and Jean Charles Abua scoring for their opponent. However, an 85th-minute Debora Mavambo strike secured maximum points for their opponent, extending Namungo's defeat to three in a row. This season, Namungo have won two of their eight matches while losing six. This team scored four goals in that run while conceding eleven. 

Pamba Jiji's last league encounter was against Tabora United, and they suffered a defeat. In that encounter, Morice Chukwu's lone strike was the difference, coming in the 77th minute. However, Pamba Jiji failed to secure a league win in any of their last matches this season, settling for draws in five matches while losing four. In that run, this team scored three goals but conceded eleven. With five points, Pamba Jiji sit 15th in the standings of the Ligi Kuu Bara. 

The two teams have been very poor this season and will need to be at their best. With poor defense and conceding many goals, the two teams' offensive lines have not been outstanding. While Namungo have a good home advantage here, their league experience could also be a boost for them. With the two teams being poor defensively, this game is also expected to end with many goals.
