Simba SC vs KMC Prediction: The hosts can’t afford not to win on their ground after the league leader slip

On Tuesday, Simba SC will face off against KMC FC at the KMC Complex in an attempt to reduce the deficit at the top of the log. Simba SC have the chance to close the gap at the top of the standings following Yanga Boys' defeat against Azam FC, and anything aside, the maximum points here might result in an opportunity missed.

Fadlu Davids's men snatched victory from the jaws of defeat after a difficult outing against a solid Mashujaa FC. New signing Steven Mukwala scored the last minute ditch that won his team important points away from home. Simba SC have now won three consecutive games since their (0-1) loss against Young Africans. The hosts have also kept three consecutive clean sheets in the division and seven since the league began. 

They have also scored seventeen times while conceding three, picking up twenty points from a combined twenty-seven. 

Simba SC have won three, lost a game, and drawn once over their previous five home matches.

Kinonedoni are back on their feet after their (3-1) loss on their home turf. KMC have won back-to-back matches, scoring three and conceding once. More recently, Rashid Chambo scored one of the fasted goals in the division to hand his team all the points at home. 

KMC have scored eight times and conceded twelve goals since the season began and have picked up fourteen points from a combined thirty. KMC have won once drawn a game and lost three in their last five away games, and we expect them to increase their tempo against a strong side tomorrow.

Simba SC have recorded ten wins and drawn twice over their last twelve meetings against KMC. Simba SC are the second-strongest team in the division, and this is a rare opportunity to leapfrog Young Africans at the top of the log. They’ll host a KMC side who have been below par against top teams in the division. All their wins have come against average sides, and even though this game will be held on their home turf, we expect Simba SC to get a halftime victory here at 1.87.

It won’t be a low score as usual, and we think the hosts will win and score more than a goal for 1.67.

We anticipate goals in both halves for 2.10.

Good luck!
