Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for KCB - Leopards!

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.

2 - 2 - 0 with 3-0. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Leopards when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Leopards play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
