Struggling Dauphins Noirs will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Motema Pembe in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Motema Pembe have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 2-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.
Motema Pembe have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
