  • KCB have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Homeboyz have not yet lost a game away.

2-0-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Homeboyz when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those six matches are 7-11 (scored/conceded).

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
