Tusker, facing a significant dip in form, is under immense pressure to revive their performance, having suffered defeats against Muranga SEAL and Ulinzi Stars. Their goal drought at home adds extra weight on their forward line. With just 6 goals scored in 10 matches this season, their attacking prowess faces a stern test to break this slump.
