After their hard-fought stalemate against Azam FC in the league, Simba SC have now gone on to record three victories in a row. Simba SC will have been terrific over their last five games; they have won four and drawn once with just a clean sheet. They face strife competition from Young Africans, and anything aside from three points here will dent their chances of challenging Yanga Boys to the title. Simba SC won seven, drew four and lost once in the last twelve away games.

In terms of head-to-head, the two teams have faced each other twenty times in the league, with Simba SC winning eleven, Mtibwa Sugar winning one, and seven matches ending in a draw. Mtibwa Sugar always stand their ground against Simba at home, but we are not sure they’ll do that this time. Simba SC will hope to reduce Young Africans' lead at the top of the log, and anything aside from a win here will be disastrous. Bet on an away win for 1.44.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.16.

Expect a halftime victory from the visitors for 2.05.

Good luck!
