Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Groupe Bazano - TP Mazembe!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Super Ligue match only three days ago. This match was also played here at Stade Frédéric Kibassa Maliba. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, TP Mazembe have had more rest. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Simba.
This stadium uses grass, unlike TP Mazembe's home stadium. The visitors last 19 games on grass have ended in 7 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Groupe Bazano form and stats
Seven points from three Super Ligue home games is a great start for Groupe Bazano, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stade Frédéric Kibassa Maliba. Two home wins in a row for Groupe Bazano bring valid hopes of a third.
The Groupe Bazano supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Simba in Super Ligue and win 2-0. 1-1 away at Vita Club before that.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lubumbashi Sport in only one day.
The Groupe Bazano fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. Groupe Bazano have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
TP Mazembe form and stats
3-1-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for TP Mazembe, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Super Ligue, in their Super Ligue matches away. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Groupe Bazano.
It's the second away game in a row for TP Mazembe, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Maniema Union (placed 14th) in the Super Ligue last time out. That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Don Bosco.
TP Mazembe are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. The TP Mazembe defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 4 games).
Head 2 Head
Last five meetings between the teams: Groupe Bazano won 0, TP Mazembe won 5 and 0 draws. 3 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Groupe Bazano missing players
