This is a vital fight in the lower part of the Girabola, with both Kabuscorp and Sporting de Benguela feeling more tension than pleasure. This fixture is a typical "six-pointer" with the team playing at home placed 14th and the away team in 16th place.

Insights:
  • All of Kabuscorp's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Sporting de Benguela have the fewest scored goals (6) in Girabola

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Kabuscorp form and stats

Kabuscorp's struggle is real here at Estádio Municipal dos Coqueiros with only 8 points collected from 8 Girabola games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-2. When Kabuscorp hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cubango, Progresso, Kabuscorp, Academica do Lobito and CD Lunda-Sul), they have won 1 of 2 matches! The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Kabuscorp has racked up an amazing four draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?

Kabuscorp lost their last game at Academica do Lobito (placed 12th) after a 0-2 scoreline.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Sagrada Esperanca.

The Kabuscorp fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kabuscorp defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
