Young Africans vs Mashujaa Prediction: Yanga Boys will get the job done before the break

Having gone three games with just two goals, Young Africans will be determined to improve their goalscoring record when they host the winless Mashujaa FC at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Thursday. 

Young Africans (1st)

Last five games: WWWDW

The Young Africans fans were over the moon after their team scored in the 87th minute to see off a defensive Dodoma Jiji side. After creating lots of chances and failing to convert them, Young Africans were made to labor for the maximum points as Mudathir Yahya saved his side from criticism when he found the back of the net in the final few seconds of the match. 

Young Africans are still without their main goalkeeper, Diarra, and their best player, Aziz Ki, to mention a few. In their absence, Yanga Boys have struggled in front of goals but have been solid at the back. 

Young Africans maintain their spot at the top of the log and have won all their last seven games at home this season. 

Mashujaa FC (15th)

Last five games: LDLLL

The visitors are yet to win any of their previous nine games, as they march here with a slim (0-1) defeat on their ground against Simba SC. This time, Mashujaa FC were pretty organized at the back but managed just a shot at goal in the entire game. 

Mashujaa FC's struggle continue, and they will likely return to Division Two. They have picked up nine points from a combined thirty-nine, losing the league's second-most matches (8).

Mashujaa have drawn once and lost four times on the road, scoring three and conceding eight times. 

Expert Betting Tips

Mashujaa FC have been poor since their promotion, and even after signing almost an entire team, they still succumbed to a defeat in their last game at home. Abdallah Barres' men will come with their usual time-wasting and defensive tactics; however, we expect the hosts to break their defensive line more often. Yanga Boys will be desperate to improve their goal-scoring ability and get things done at the break; bet on a home halftime win for 1.98.

We expect Young Africans to get goals this time; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.06.

This game might end in a correct score of (3-0) for 8.40.

Good luck!
