This could be an interesting match as Espoir have their presumed home advantage while Mukura are ahead 14 points in the National Soccer League table.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on sand pitch and that the visiting Mukura have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on sand pitch is 2-6-1 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.

Mukura form and stats
