Union Douala have collected 21 points from their Elite One home games so far after 6-3-4. After failing to beat Feutcheu here at Middle Farm Stadium, Union Douala has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

Union Douala drew their last game, 0-0 away at UMS de Loum (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Union Douala won a home game hosting Stade Renard (1-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

PWD are travelling again after losing away to Bamboutos in their previous match (0-1). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Dragon de Yaounde.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with PWD playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two PWD wins, four draws and three defeats.
