The first of two encounters in the CAF Champions League 1st Preliminary Round, as the hometeam APR will try to edge Gaadiidka in their own ballpark.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
APR form and stats
Last season, APR's CAF Champions League journey ended in the 1st preliminary round against Monastir.The home supporters can't complain about results here as APR have scored 31 goals to get 34 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the National Soccer League are 10-4-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for APR in their previous game, a fixture away at Gorilla that ended with a 2-1 victory.
Before that, APR had a National Soccer League home game versus Rwamagana City which ended with a victory 4-1.With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (31 in 15 games), APR's attacking play is working. From these home matches, APR have conceded only 14 goals.
Gaadiidka form and stats
Gaadiidka's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Gaadiidka collect 19 points from their 8 away matches in the First Division. 6 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).
Gaadiidka won their last game, 4-0 versus M. United played at home. As mentioned above, Gaadiidka was the only team on the pitch versus M. United in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A 1-3 defeat away at Heegan before that.The travelling fans enjoy Gaadiidka's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 8 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Gaadiidka as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
