Inconsistent Kagera Sugar head to Manungu Complex to face Mtibwa Sugar today after falling short to Tanzania Prison 1-0 on May 14.

Mtibwa have allowed six goals in the previous three games scoring one goal and winning one match in the process.

Mexime has said that every game plan is aligned with their opponents in the upcoming matches but with intensive preparations they have made, they are ready to grab results and give a proper season send-off to their Kagera region fans and elsewhere in Tanzania.

"We still have to work harder. I'm not satisfied with the previous results and performance in general. In the upcoming two last fixtures, we have to show character to grab these six points. And that is not an overnight process, we have to work hard for that.

"We can't underestimate our opponents. We are aware they haven't won in their previous five games, but we have to be disciplined to take advantage of that. We are aware teams are in need of results given that they are in the relegation playoffs zone."

Coach Mexime has highlighted their defensive wary and he quickly worked on it so as to achieve their goal.

"We are working on mistakes that have happened in the previous matches and we believe we will do well. It is possible, all we need is our fans to go hand in hand with us in our last games," says the former Mtibwa Sugar captain.

Kagera Sugar have won two games and lost three games in their last five games,. They have guaranteed themselves to survive and remain in the Premier League for next season as other relegation playoffs teams cannot reach 35 points attained by the Sugar Millers.
