Miguel Gamando's men bowed to their first league defeat this year as they lost against Azam FC on their home turf. After their decent start in the game, defender Ibrahim Hamad Bacca received a red card to destabilise his team’s tactics. Young Africans did press high but could not defend as a team, conceding once. 

It hasn’t been rosy for Yanga Boys in front of goal, but they have been solid defensively, letting in just a goal this season. 

Yanga Boys have proven why they'll defend their title for the second time this season. Yanga Boys have scored thirteen times this campaign and have only conceded once in over 1170 minutes of play in all competitions this season.

Young Africans have won all but once in their previous nine league games.

The hosts won two successive matches for just the second time since their promotion last year. Tabora United secured a (1-0) victory over a solid Mashujaa FC side. They have now won four times since the league began, scoring nine and conceding fourteen goals. 

After four consecutive matches without a breakthrough, Tabora United secured all the points against Pamba SC and Mashujaa FC. Newly acquired Nigerian midfielder Morice Chukwu scored from the penalty spot to secure his side the win for the second consecutive match. 

Tabora United have managed two wins over their previous ten meetings in the league, scoring nine and conceding fourteen. 

The Bees have won once, lost three and recorded a win over their previous five away matches. 

Young Africans have won three consecutive matches against Tabora United. The Yanga Boys were outclassed by their opponent recently, conceding once with ten men on the pitch. Young Africans have never lost back-to-back games since 2021, and we expect them to respond positively against the guests. 

We anticipate a strong start from the hosts with a halftime victory for 1.61.

This game won’t deny us goals, as we expect to see more than two goals for 1.79.

Young Africans will likely score in both halves for 2.10.

Good luck!
