It's game one of two in the CAF Champions League as Galaxy host Simba. This is a 2nd Preliminary Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
This arena has the surface grass, unlike Simba's home stadium. The former 22 games by the away side on grass have resulted in 14 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
