The away team, who have the most clean sheets (13) in Super League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 6 wins, 4 draws and only 1 loss in the Super League.

Be Forward Wanderers are travelling after their nice 4-0 home win in the Super League against Chitipa United (placed 11th). A 0-2 defeat away at Blue eagles Malawi before that.
