Pamba vs Mashujaa Prediction: An evenly matched fixture

In round 5 of the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara, Pamba will play Mashujaa at CCM Kirumba Stadium. This will be the first meeting between these sides. Which side takes the maximum points?

Pamba

Pamba, still in search of their first win of the season, will head into this game with the hope of securing a positive result. In their last match, this team played the Singida Black Stars, and they were defeated 0-1. However, it is vital to understand that Pamba's first three matches of the season ended with consecutive goalless draws. In those matches, this team played Tanzania Prisons, Dodoma Jiji, and Azam. 

Mashujaa

Mashujaa's previous league game was against Coastal Union, and this team secured a 0-1 win. In that encounter, Crispin Ngushi's lone strike in the 14th minute was the difference of the day, as it was enough to give Mashujaa maximum points. In the meantime, Mashujaa's first three matches of the season ended with two wins, one against Dodoma Jiji in their opener, while drawing Tanzania Prisons in a goalless encounter. 

Expert Betting Tips

Mashujaa have been very good this season, and I expect them to keep that up. However, Pamba, newly promoted, has yet to win a single league game, and at home, they have a chance to get maximum points. Looking at how the two teams have performed this season, I still trust the road team more, hence handing Pamba their second defeat of the season. Also, while Pamba have struggled offensively this season, I do not see them scoring in this encounter either.
