The club is 18th on the 20-team table and need to secure maximum points from the remaining seven matches to guarantee survival
Former Mbeya City stars Deus Kaseke and Paul Nonga have explained why the current team is struggling in the Mainland Premier League.
Mbeya City are 18th on the log, just above Mbao FC and Singida United, and since four teams will be relegated this season, it makes their place in the top-tier insecure.
Two other Premier League teams at the bottom will engage in play-offs with the First Division clubs to determine who occupies the other available slots.
