Safa hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 11th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Racing holds 7th place with 20 pts.
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!
This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Racing's home stadium. The visitors last one game on artificial turf have ended in 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss.

We have seen two home losses in a row now for Safa, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.The Safa crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Salam Zgharta here in a Premier League match. Heartbreak before that as Safa lost 0-2 at Shabab Al Sahel's place.
Safa have scored 8 goals here in 11 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Safa have conceded 15 goals.
