Pamba vs Azam Prediction: Azam to keep Champions League dream with a win

At CCM Kirumba Stadium, Pamba will play Azam in round 18 of the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara. The two teams head into this game following a league win. Which team keeps things running? I provide full match previews and offer free betting opportunities below.

Pamba

Pamba returned to winning ways the previous time out against Dodoma Jiji and will hope luck finds them again. In a game that ended 0-1, Mathew Momanyi's strike in the 23rd minute was enough to see this team secure maximum points. However, prior league matches to that win saw this team go winless in three matches, losing to Kinondoni MC and Tanzania Prison, while drawing JKT Tanzania. This season, Pamba have only 15 points from a possible 51, which sees them sit 14th in the standings. 

Azam

Azam's last league match was against Kinondoni MC and they won. In a game that ended 2-0, this team scored in each half, thanks to Gibril Sillah’s brace. However, this team has won their last three matches, defeating Fountain Gate and JKT Tanzania. Heading into this fixture, Azam have lost only once in their last 12 matches, coming against Tabora United. In the standings, this team sits third with 39 points, scoring 27 goals and conceding 8. 

Expert Betting Tips

Azam will not drop points here regardless of the winning odds. While looking at how inconsistent Pamba have been this season, the fact that they have two wins already in recent games shows they can be a tough side in matches like this. Yet, Azam's chances of making it to the next CAF Champions League are still high, and I believe they can do better here. Also, Pamba are struggling offensively, and while Azam have a solid defence, a bet on a few goals is a good option.
