Mtibwa Sugar vs Ihefu Prediction: The visitors will not lose this encounter

On Monday, Mtibwa Sugar will face off against Ihefu at the Manungu Stadium. Both teams have been underwhelming this season, but the visitors stand a better chance here. 

Mtibwa Sugar (16th)

Last five games: LLLLW

The hosts have struggled to win games since the season began, and with two wins in fourteen games, they might be heading to division two in this campaign. Mtibwa ended their six-game run without a win when they defeated Mashujaa FC before the continental break. Since then, there has been a massive shake-up in the club. 

Mtibwa, who endured relegation with three points, have had a terrible start to the season, securing eight points from a combined forty-two. Mtibwa Sugar have conceded in each of their previous fourteen games this season, and it’ll be hard to shut out the visiting team.

Ihefu (14th)

Last five games: LDDWL

The visitors' three-game unbeaten run ended as they were beaten by Dodoma Jiji on the road. The evenly contested game ended in favor of the hosts, who scored in the 57th minute to secure the maximum points. Since then, Ihefu have sacked their coach and employed Mecky Mexime, who is very tactical. 

Ihefu sit in the 14th spot, picking up ten points from a possible forty-two. They have scored ten times this season while conceding seventeen times. 

Ihefu are the third-worst away side this season, with two draws and five defeats in their last seven games on the road.

Expert Betting Tips

Mtibwa Sugar have won twice, while Ihefu have won once and a game ending in a tie over their last four games. 

During the continental break, there has been a massive shakeup at Ihefu with Arab money moving into the club and triggering a wave of transfers. They have signed some pretty quality players, and with the acquisition of coach Mecky, we are about to witness a massive transformation in their gameplay. Mtibwa Sugar are very well coordinated and will be looking at making their own turf a refuge, but we think the visitors will be stronger; bet on away win and over 1.5 goals for 4.01.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 1.72.

The visitors might even get a halftime victory for 3.61.

Good luck!
