Cubango are eager to improve their points total at home in the upcoming fixture hosting Sporting de Benguela.

Insights:
  • Cubango have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Girabola
  • Sporting de Benguela have the fewest scored goals (15) in Girabola

Cubango are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Benguela are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

It's no vacation for neither Cubango nor Sporting de Benguela as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Sporting de Benguela form and stats

There's been little loot from Sporting de Benguela's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 14 away games in the Girabola. Sporting de Benguela only have 0 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Benguela have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Recreativo da Caala game.

There might be some fixture complaints from Sporting de Benguela as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-4 against Interclube. Benguela lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 0-4 defeat away at Petro de Luanda before that.

Goals are few and far between in Sporting de Benguela's away league games. Only 6 goals from 14 travels. There are big problems for the Sporting de Benguela defense as they have conceded 45 goals in 14 away games. When Sporting de Benguela is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Progresso, Kabuscorp, Benguela, CD Lunda-Sul and Sporting de Cabinda.

Head 2 Head

Cubango and Sporting de Benguela have faced off previously this season: Sporting de Benguela - Cubango 1-1.
