Season ticket holders at Karonga Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Chitipa United languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Azam Tigers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chitipa United and Azam Tigers.
Chitipa United form and stats
Overall Super League stats at home this season for Chitipa United, who have the most conceded goals (21) at home in Super League, are 3-5-4 (wins-draw-losses).
The Chitipa United fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at Karonga Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Azam Tigers (placed 10th). The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Karonga United.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Chitipa United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 2.
The Chitipa United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 12 matches. Chitipa United have conceded 21 from these games.
Azam Tigers form and stats
There's been little loot from Azam Tigers's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the Super League. Azam Tigers only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. Azam Tigers has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Azam Tigers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Chitipa United (placed 11th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Karonga United at their stadium, the result 1-0.
