Singida Black Stars comfortable at home


Singida Black Stars head into this Kagame Cup clash in better form than their rivals, having finished fourth in the Tanzanian Premier League.

The Buffaloes have scored in five of their last seven fixtures, drawing a blank in just two games. They have also conceded at least one goal in two of their last four matches, a record that points to an open contest in this one.
