Coastal Union vs Tanzania Prisons Prediction: The two teams will struggle offensively

Sheikh Amri Abeid Memorial Stadium will host the Tanzania Ligi Kuu Bara encounter between the Coastal Union and Tanzania Prisons. In their last meeting, both teams settled for a goalless draw. How will they approach this fixture?

Coastal Union's last game was against KenGold, and they settled for a 1-1 draw. In that game, Hassan Abdallah put this team in the lead before the break, but an 87th-minute Emmanuel Mpuka strike denied this team maximum points. Heading into this game, Coastal Union lost one of their last matches, a 0-1 encounter with Young Africans. In other games, Coastal Union drew the Singida Black Stars while defeating Dodoma Jiji. 

Tanzania Prisons lost their last league game against JKT Tanzania and will hope to return to winning ways here. In a match that ended 1-0, in the second minute, Hassan Kapalata’s strike was the difference, securing maximum points for their opponent. In the meantime, Tanzania Prisons have faced defeats in four of their last five games, coming against Azam, Simba and Kinondoni MC. In that run, their lone win was against KenGold, a game which ended 1-0. This season, Tanzania Prisons have 10 points from 11 matches, leaving them seated in the 12th spot.

The two teams are not playing at the top level, but Coastal Union are slightly better. While Tanzania Prisons' last matches have ended with defeats, there is a possibility things might continue in that run for them. While Coastal Union have not won in their previous two games, I feel they have a chance to turn things around here and secure a hard-fought victory. With the two teams poor offensively, a bet on a few goals is a good possibility.
