It's early days in the A Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Nepal Army and Saraswoti Youth should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Nepal Army form and stats
When playing at home in the A Division, Nepal Army, who have the most points (9) at home in A Division, have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Nepal Army after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Nepal Army are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Nepal Army's previous game was a A Division match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Three Star (placed 7th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Ahead of that match, Nepal Army won a home game hosting Himalayan Sherpa (2-0).
A decent goal production from Nepal Army in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Nepal Army have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Saraswoti Youth form and stats
With the Saraswoti Youth losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a A Division home defeat versus Armed Police Force with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 loss hosting Nepal Police before that.
The schedule is very tough for Saraswoti Youth now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A A Division game at Brigade Boys is waiting in only three days.
