Namungo vs Simba SC Prediction: This encounter will produce goals at both ends

After parting ways with their coach, Simba SC will start life without a tactician when they face off against Namungo at the Majaliwa Stadium. The hosts have been unlucky with their fixtures lately, as they will play against another top-four team in the space of five games. And for this reason, they’ve been below par until their recent victory over Coastal Union.

Expert Betting Tips

Simba SC have won six and drawn four of their previous ten meetings. A winner has emerged in one of their last four meetings in the league. The visitors have been below par lately and are without a coach heading here. Simba SC need to respond positively after Derby's defeat, and a defeat here could jeopardize their chances of playing CAF Champions League football. At the same time, Namungo team spirit is currently positive following their victory over Coastal Union. They are now fighting to survive relegation and must avoid any sort of defeat here. We think the visitors will be determined to bounce back from their recent defeat, and we expect an open encounter here since the hosts are aware of Simba SC's vulnerability at the back; bet on BTTS for 2.00.

We also expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate here for 2.12.

Finally, we think the visitors might just walk away with all the points for 2.02.

Good luck!
