Young Africans vs Dodoma Jiji Prediction: The hosts have a decent record against their opponent

Young Africans will face off against Dodoma Jiji at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Monday. The home team failed to impress in their recent game, failing to convert any of their three shots at goal. At the same time, the visitors will be desperate to secure their first three points against the home side, having gone six games without a breakthrough.

The Yanga Boys' seven-game winning streak ended as they failed to find the back of the net against Kagera United. The toothless draw was their first since April 2023. Young Africans managed just three shots at goal in a strange stalemate against a struggling Kagera Sugar. 

Stephane Aziz Ki, who has scored in each of his last ten games in all competitions, taking his tally to thirteen goals in all matches, was absent in their recent encounter. Young Africans have scored the second most goals (31) and conceded six times this season as they maintain their spot on the log pending when they play an outstanding game.

They occupy the 7th spot on the table with the hope of playing continental football next season.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous six meetings, Young Africans have won five and drawn once against Dodoma Jiji. Young Africans were poor in their recent game on the road, which simply means they must win here to assume the top spot. On the other hand, Francis Baraza's men have struggled in recent matches, especially away from home. Yanga Boys are still without some key players, but their home support should be able to fire them to a halftime victory for 1.71.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 1.90.

Dodoma Jiji have a lethal striker up front, and we think they might get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.67.

Good luck!
