Singida Black Stars vs Dodoma Jiji Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points on their home turf

On THURSDAY, Singida Black Stars will face off against Dodoma Jiji in what seems to be a must-win game at the CCM Liti Stadium. The hosts have been at the top of their game since the league began, and after their recent defeat against Azam FC, we expect them to bounce back here.

The hosts have struggled in recent games, and have resulted in parting ways with their coach. Singida Black Stars have one of the biggest squads in the league and have not played up to their standard this campaign. More recently, they bowed to a (2-1) defeat against Azam FC away from home. They went toe-to-toe against Azam FC and deserved a point, at least. 

Singida BS have managed just six shots at goal over their last four games, and it’s a massive concern for a side that had scored more than fifteen.

Singida Black Stars have shown grit and determination in this campaign despite their recent woes, and we believe they’ll at least finish in the top three. They presently sit in fourth spot on the log, picking up twenty-four points from a combined thirty-six. 

Singida Black Stars have won three, lost once, and drawn twice over their previous six games at home.

The visiting side are yet to replicate last season's form, heading here with a (1-3) loss against Azam FC on their home turf. Despite scoring first and controlling the game, Dodoma Jiji conceded three times, surrendering to their fifth defeat of the season. This result was on the back of their (2-1) victory over KMC on their ground. 

Dodoma Jiji dropped to the tenth spot on the log, picking up sixteen points from a possible thirty-nine. They have now scored in their last four games and failed to keep a clean sheet.

Dodoma Jiji have drawn four and lost twice over their previous six games. 

Both teams have won three games apiece over their previous six meetings. A new era begins for Singida Black Stars as coach Ramadhani Nsanzurwimo takes over the team for the rest of the season. The new tactician will be saddled with the duty of qualifying his side for the continental tournament and challenge for the FA Cup. Usually, when a new coach arrives, players always give their best to be in the good book of their manager. I’m backing the hosts to win and score more than once here against a Dodoma Jiji who have not won any of their last eight away games. 

Both teams will get a goal apiece since Dodoma Jiji scored in five consecutive matches. 

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.28.

Good luck!
