Simba SC vs Mtibwa Sugar Prediction: The hosts will run riot against the visiting team

On Friday, Simba SC will face off against Mtibwa Sugar at the Azam Complex. This is a must-win game for the hosts, who are on the verge of missing out on CAF Champions League football. At the same time, the visitors will reach for the maximum points in their quest to survive relegation this season. 

Simba SC (3rd)

Last five games: WWDLD

The hosts have now gone three games in the league without a victory, and the last time they witnessed this was back in January 2022. Simba SC surrendered to a (2-2) stalemate against Namungo on the road. Simba SC actually thought they had all the points in their bag until Edwin Balua put the ball in his own net with few seconds to spare. The share of the spoils came after their defeat against Young Africans on the road. 

Simba SC have been underperforming in recent games, as they sit in third spot, fifteen points behind arch-rival Young Africans. Simba SC have won six, lost twice, and drawn two games at home this season, scoring nineteen and conceding eleven times. 

Mtibwa Sugar (16th)

Last five games: WDDLL

The visitors are back struggling after some decent performances lately as they head here with back-to-back defeats. Mtibwa Sugar bowed to a (2-1) defeat on the road as they were beaten by JKT Tanzania. The result was after their (0-1) home defeat against KMC. 

Mtibwa Sugar are fighting in every match to ensure they remain in the division, but they’ve had a setback recently. 

Mtibwa, who endured relegation with three points last campaign, sits comfortably at the bottom of the log, securing seventeen points from a combined sixty-nine. Mtibwa Sugar have won once, lost eight, and drawn three on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous nineteen meetings, Simba SC have won thirteen while Mtibwa Sugar have recorded a win and five games ending in a tie. Simba SC are currently not themselves as a lot is happening behind the scenes for them. They just have to hold themselves together for the season to end and get the right manpower next season. Simba SC are presently without a coach, but the quality is still there. At the same time, Mtibwa Sugar have been below par lately, heading here without a win in four games. 

Regardless of what the hosts are going through, they’ll always be stronger than the visitors, who are yet to register a win against them in the league before. We expect Simba SC to step up their game after their disappointing (2-2) stalemate against Namungo; bet on a home halftime victory for 1.70.

We expect this encounter to produce more than two goals for 1.64.

We might even see more than a goal before the break for 2.39.

Good luck!
