It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pershaya Liga. That game was also an away game, at Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Krumkachy have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-4-4 (win-draw-loss) from 22 matches.
