Tanzania Prisons vs Tabora United Prediction: Hosts to take all three points

Sokoine Stadium is set to be the venue for the round 18 match of the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara, featuring Tanzania Prisons and Tabora United. In their initial meeting, Tabora United emerged victorious with a 3-1 win on their home turf. Will Tanzania Prisons secure a retaliatory triumph in this encounter, or will Tabora United demonstrate their strength once more?

Tanzania Prisons are coming off a 1-1 draw against Azam in their recent league outing. Samsoni Mbangula's early 4th-minute goal gave Tanzania Prisons an initial lead, providing a significant advantage heading into the second half. Despite their efforts, they conceded an equalizer just ten minutes into the second half, with Feisal Salum scoring for Azam. Examining Tanzania Prisons' last five matches, they have recorded one draw, one defeat, and three wins. Currently, the hosts sit in 7th place in the league standings with a total of 21 points.

Tabora United will persist in their relegation battle in this upcoming match, and the visiting side will be aiming for a victory. In their recent three matches, Tabora United has secured draws against Namungo, Azam, and Singida Fountain Gate. However, the team is currently on a winless streak of seven matches, with three losses and four draws in that span. Notably, their last league victory occurred against Mtibwa Sugar, early in December of the previous year.

Both teams have recently demonstrated quality performances, indicating their determination to win in the upcoming match. Although Tabora United secured victory in the first leg of this encounter, the visitors are anticipated to be highly motivated for this match. Tanzania Prisons, the hosts, have displayed proficiency on both ends of the field recently. Despite the minimal difference between them and Tabora United, I am supporting Tanzania Prisons to emerge victorious in what is expected to be a closely contested match.
