- Motema Pembe have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- TP Mazembe have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Super Ligue
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting TP Mazembe 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 6-8-2 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as TP Mazembe have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
