Geita Gold is coming off a 2-1 away defeat against Azam, and the home team is undoubtedly seeking a more positive outcome in their upcoming match. In the previous game, Geita Gold initially took the lead as Tariq Seif Kiakala found the back of the net in the 40th minute. However, Azam quickly responded, with Gibril Sillah equalizing just four minutes after falling behind. The match took a turn in the 84th minute when Iddy Seleman Nado scored, resulting in a defeat for Geita Gold. Unfortunately, this loss adds to a string of three recent defeats for Geita Gold, with two others coming against Simba and Coastal Union.
Ihefu
In their recent outing, Ihefu secured a hard-fought victory over Mtibwa Sugar in a match that concluded with a 3-2 scoreline. Marouf Tchakei's brace provided Ihefu with a significant advantage. Despite Mtibwa Sugar narrowing the deficit with a 41st-minute strike by Tiote and Juma Lizuio leveling the scores early in the second half, Ihefu managed to secure all three points thanks to Elvis Rupia finding the back of the net. Looking at their recent form, Ihefu has won two matches, suffered one defeat, and secured two draws ahead of their upcoming fixture.
Expert Betting Tips
I would lean towards supporting the hosts in this scenario, considering that their recent losses were against strong opponents. On the flip side, Ihefu has only managed one win in three encount♐ers of this fixture, making it less likely for them to secure a second victory. However, it's worth noting that given Ihefu's recent scoring performance, a bet on bot▨h teams scoring could also be a viable consideration.
