The home followers hope for three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Armed Police Force are in 9th spot while the guesting Sankata panic at 11th.

Insights:
  • Armed Police Force have the most dropped points from leading position (5) in A Division
  • Sankata have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

It's no vacation for neither Armed Police Force nor Sankata as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
