Competition: Angola Girabola
Date: Sat 06.April
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Estádio Cidade Universitária (60000 seats)

Progresso and Interclube have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Girabola.

It's no vacation for neither Progresso nor Interclube 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.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Interclube's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on grass have ended in 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses. There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Interclube form and stats

As the visiting team Interclube have produced an overall stat of 2-5-3 so far. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Interclube when traveling as their last four away games have all ended all square. Not since the Saurimo match has the points been distributed unevenly.

Interclube won their last game, 1-0 versus Académica do Lobito played at home. Before that, Interclube travelled to Santa Rita and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

The attacking power of Interclube when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored in 10 matches. It's not easy to score on Interclube as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Interclube - Progresso 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Progresso, 8 draws and 1 win for Interclube.
