Ihefu vs Geita Gold Prediction: The home side will score more than once here

Welcome to the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara, where sixteen teams will compete for the league title. Simba and Young Africans remain the favourites for the trophy. At the same time, Singida and Azam FC will have to pull off the most incredible stunts to finish above the teams, as mentioned earlier. Ihefu will open the season with a matchup against Geita Gold at the Highland Estates Stadium. This game could go both ways; however, we will be backing the home side just because of how well they finished in the previous campaign.

Coach Malule Omary has been up and running since his appointment, finishing in the top six last season. After spending most of their time struggling for survival, Ihefu pulled off a great run of wins and finished in sixth spot last season.

Ihefu have recruited almost a dozen players for the new season, and after watching them towards the end of the previous season, we expect them to finish strong this year.

The visitors were the opposite of Ihefu after finishing behind them last season. Geita Gold, who finished in the fourth spot in the 2021/2022 season, fought tooth and nail to survive relegation. Geita Gold wrapped up last season in the seventh spot after picking up thirty-seven points from a possible ninety points.

They’ve not made any significant move in the transfer market, and we are sceptical that they might be in for a surprise this season.

Over their previous two meetings, both teams won on their ground, with Ihefu winning (3-1) and Geita Gold recording (1-0) victory. The home side head into this game as the favourite after investing heavily during the transfer window. Ihefu will be out to prove their doubters wrong and start strong against Geita Gold, who lost to Dodoma in their recent preseason game. Even though the game can go both ways, I’ll be backing Ihefu to win for 1.83.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.08.

This encounter won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.38.

Good luck!
