Fountain Gate vs MashujaaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Round two in Tanzania, at the Kwaraa Stadium. Fountain Gate opened with a 0-3 away at Singida Black Stars, their only game so far. Look further back and the attacking picture stays thin: a 0-0 at Namungo, a 0-1 at home to Mashujaa themselves, then two 0-2 results against Young Africans and Azam. The exception is the 4-3 over Singida Black Stars at the end of June, the one busy scoreline in a run built on low counts. Mashujaa have not played yet this season. Their previous six brought a 0-1 against Tanzania Prisons, a 2-0 over KMC, a 1-0 at Fountain Gate, then 0-2 against Azam, 0-2 against Young Africans and 0-1 against Coastal Union: nine goals in total across six matches, with no game going beyond two strikes. The league runs at 2.00 goals per game and the six previous meetings sit right on that scale: 0-1, 1-1, 3-0, 2-2, 0-0 and 1-3, four of the six with three goals or fewer on the board. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
