Struggling Kirehe will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Mukura in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

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 2-7-1 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
