The first of two encounters in the CAF Champions League 1st Preliminary Round, as the hometeam Fovu Club will try to edge Petro de Luanda in their own ballpark.
Both participants have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's have faith in that this will be an enthusiastic match!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Petro de Luanda have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 3-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Petro de Luanda have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
