- Petro de Luanda have the most scored goals (43) in Girabola
- Sporting de Cabinda have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Girabola
Sporting de Cabinda could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Girabola game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Baixa de Kassange, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sporting de Cabinda.
These teams have little in common geographically as Sporting de Cabinda have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The season is still full of potential for Luanda as they can still win the whole Girabola.
