Pamba Jiji vs Simba SCPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Pamba Jiji opened the season with a 1-1 at home to Dodoma Jiji. Look back a little further and their attack has almost always worked in single figures: 1-2 at Coastal Union, 1-2 with JKT Tanzania, 0-2 against Mbeya City and 1-2 away at Simba, the one exception being a 4-0 over Mtibwa Sugar. In five of their last six outings they failed to go beyond one goal. Simba have yet to play a league game, but their recent schedule points to a defence that is close to airtight: one goal conceded in six matches, taking in a 2-1 over Singida Black Stars and two goalless draws with Jamus and Mogadishu City in the cup, then a 1-0 against KMC, a 2-0 over Singida Black Stars and a 3-0 away at Mtibwa Sugar. Five clean sheets in six. The league average is 2.00 goals per game. The four previous meetings gave 2-1, 1-1, 5-1 and 0-1, with Simba ahead in three of them; the two played at Pamba Jiji's ground brought three goals in total, the 1-1 of March 2026 and the 0-1 of November 2024. 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.
