Tabora United vs Kagera Sugar Prediction: Expect a very competitive game between these two struggling teams

In this week's 23 Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara fixtures, one of the scheduled fixtures will see Kagera Sugar travel to Tabora to take on Tabora United at the Ali Hassan Mwinyi Stadium. Ahead of this encounter, the reverse fixture of this game ended goalless, which was their only meeting. Which of the two teams will pick the first win in this fixture?

Tabora United would be disappointed in themselves, looking at how their game against JKT Tanzania ended. In a game that ended 1-1, Martin Luseke's 90th-minute strike for JKT Tanzania denied Tabora United all three points as Heritier Lulihoshi's 72nd-minute goal almost won it for them. However, Tabora United had defeated Singida Fountain Gate in a prior league game to that draw, which ended in a dominant 0-3 road win. However, Tabora United now remain unbeaten in their last five home games, a run where they won just one while drawing the remaining four.

Kagera Sugar have been struggling lately, and last time out in the league, the visiting side could only pick a draw against Dodoma Jiji. In that game, Kagera Sugar had to come from behind to salvage a point, with a 47th minute second-half strike by Moubarack Hamza was all they needed to level the scores after Iddi Kipagwile had put Dodoma Jiji in the lead just 11 minutes after kickoff. In the meantime, Kagera Sugar are now without a win in their last six games overall, both at home and on the road. They were on the losing end against Namungo twice, one in the league and another encounter in a league cup. In other games, they drew Geita Gold, JKT Tanzania, and Mtibwa Sugar.

The two sides are expected to come into this game with their eyes set on picking maximum points, as the possibility of relegation is high for both teams. However, Tabora United are the side that needs this the most, and their last two league games have shown signs of improvement from them. Kagera Sugar is not expected to leave any loopholes heading into this game. Still, with home advantage for Tabora United, I expect a win in another low-scoring game, just like their first meeting.
