Mashujaa vs Young Africans Prediction: Yanga Boys will get the job done before the break

Mashujaa FC have a challenging task ahead of their clash against Young Africans at the Lake Tanganyika Stadium on Sunday as they must win here to stand a chance of surviving relegation. Young Africans who are a few games away from retaining the Premier League can’t afford to slack against the hosts here. 

Mashujaa FC (14th)

Last five games: WLLDD

The hosts continue their journey of surviving relegation, this time with a share of the spoils against Singida BS away from home. They were lucky to have walked off with a point as their opponent lacked confidence in front of goal. Mashujaa have now played three of the most dangerous teams in the division, coming off with just a point, and have a hurdle to overcome against Young Africans tomorrow. 

They have been playing exceptionally well in recent games but march here with two losses and two stalemates over their last four games. Mashujaa have been pretty solid offensively but have kept four clean sheets in their previous twenty-two matches. They have picked up twenty-three points from a combined seventy-one, losing the league's second-most matches (11).

Mashujaa have won four, drawn two, and lost five games at how this season. 

Young Africans (1st)

Last five games: LWWDW

The Yanga Boys bounced back from their recent stalemate on the road as they narrowly defeated Coastal Union at home. Joseph Gnadou scored the only goal as they secured the maximum points against ten-man Coastal Union. 

Young Africans are flying high in the division, and it looks like they’ll retain the Ligi Kuu Bara title with an eight-point gap at the top. Yanga Boys have picked up sixty-two points from a combined seventy-one. They have won eight, drawn two, and lost two games away from home this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

The reverse leg ended in a (2-1) victory for Young Africans in front of their home supporters. Mashujaa FC have been poor since their promotion, and even after signing almost an entire team, they still haven’t won any of their last four matches. Abdallah Barres' men will come with their usual time-wasting and defensive tactics; however, we expect the hosts to break their defensive line more often. Yanga Boys will be desperate to improve their goal-scoring ability and get things done at the break; bet on a home halftime win for 1.88.

We expect Young Africans to get goals this time; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 1.90.

This game might end in a correct score of (1-3) for 10.0.

Good luck!
