The league table in Super Ligue tells a story about these teams so far, with TP Mazembe leading Groupe Bazano by 9 points. Match preview to follow:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Groupe Bazano's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Groupe Bazano have performed like this: Played four matches resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats with the goal stats 4-11 (scored/conceded).
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
TP Mazembe form and stats
TP Mazembe have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Super Ligue. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super Ligue game versus Lubumbashi Sport in only one day. This game is also played here at Stade du Mazembe.
Mazembe has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. TP Mazembe have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Groupe Bazano form and stats
0-2-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Groupe Bazano, who have the fewest scored goals (3) in Super Ligue, in their Super Ligue matches away. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Groupe, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Simba game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Groupe Bazano seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Groupe are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. 6 goals have been conceded by Groupe in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last six meetings between the teams: Mazembe won six, Groupe Bazano won zero and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.TP Mazembe missing players
