Singida Fountain Gate vs Mtibwa Sugar Prediction: The hosts are the better side in this fixture

In the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara, Singida Fountain Gate is set to host Mtibwa Sugar at CCM Kirumba Stadium. As both teams have yet to secure a league win leading up to this match, it remains uncertain whether a breakthrough will occur this time, or if a draw will be the outcome, satisfying both teams.

Singida Fountain Gate is coming off a narrow 0-1 defeat on the road against Azam in their recent league fixture. The decisive moment in that match occurred in the 52nd minute when Kipre Tiagori Emmanuel scored for Azam, making it the lone goal of the encounter. Unfortunately, this loss has extended Singida Fountain Gate's streak of winless matches to seven, with four losses and three draws in that period. Notably, the team's last league victory dates back to November 2023 against Coastal Union.

Despite being at the bottom of the standings, Mtibwa Sugar managed to secure a goalless draw against Dodoma Jiji in their recent league fixture. While this result may not significantly improve their chances of climbing out of the last spot, it does help them avoid another defeat. However, a closer look at their last five league matches reveals that Mtibwa Sugar has won only once, in a 2-1 home encounter against Mashujaa. Unfortunately, they suffered defeats in three other matches against Young Africans, Ihefu, and Coastal Union during this period. Throughout these five matches, Mtibwa Sugar scored five goals but conceded nine.

Despite both teams facing struggles, Singida Fountain Gate appears to be in a better position this season compared to the struggling Mtibwa Sugar side. Playing at home, Singida Fountain Gate is likely to feel more comfortable, increasing their chances of securing a victory. However, I anticipate that Mtibwa Sugar may approach this match with greater focus compared to their encounters with stronger teams. Despite Singida Fountain Gate having a superior record in previous meetings, I expect a home win, but Mtibwa Sugar is likely to find the net and score a goal in this matchup.
