Dodoma Jiji out to give fans three points

December 21, 2021

Three points would be the perfect early Christmas present for Dodoma Jiji fans, as the side prepares to take on Namungo on Wednesday, 22 December, in the Tanzanian Premier League.

Dodoma Jiji last picked up a win at the end of October when they defeated Mtibwa Sugar 1-0. Since then, they have gone on a four-match winless run, which has led to some fans’ frustration.

Their home match against Polisi unfortunately ended in a 1-1 draw. The two teams shared the spoils despite a competitive game. Polisi overshadowed Dodoma in the match, with the latter being the first to concede a goal. Miscommunication between the defenders and the keeper created an opportunity for a Polisi player to score bizarrely.

Dodoma managed to get an equalizer from a free-kick that saw the ball bounce around in the penalty box and eventually make its way to the back of the net to make the score 1-1.

Polisi kept the pressure on Dodoma, throwing attack after attack, forcing them to defend aggressively. Even under constant threat, Dodoma managed to prevent a second goal and secure the draw.

Dodoma are still well loved by fans and have the full support of the 10bet Africa team behind them. Their faithful supporters sang throughout the match despite not attaining the desired result. The fans passion and loyalty deserve a reward, and the Dodoma team are aiming to gift them with a win in their next game.

The recent match results are not an indication of a bad season for Dodoma and they have several games ahead to prove they contenders for a top 3 finish. The club is currently in fifth place on the table with 13 points in nine games.

Namungo won’t be an easy game for Dodoma Jiji; they are coming from back to back wins against Ruvu Shootings and Mbeya Kwanza. They are one place below Dodoma Jiji on the league table with 12 points on the board.

Dodoma have to be cautious when they approach this game; they face a direct rival who wants to go past them on the table. As this match is an away game for Dodoma, their backs will be against the wall. Therefore, they need to have a smash and grab mentally. A 0-1 or 1-2 win will be great a result for them.
