With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Super League game of the season. Azam Tigers look forward to welcoming Red Lions in front of their home support.
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!
It should be mentioned that Red Lions play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Red Lions on grass are 3 victories, 6 draws and 12 defeats from 21 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 17-28. You can compare this with overall results below.
