Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sofapaka in 12th and Wazito in 11th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Wazito have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-5-5 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
