With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Altona Magic fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Kingston.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Altona Magic and Kingston.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Kingston have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
