The managers are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Ligi kuu Bara league table.
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 Alliance and Azam.
Alliance form and stats
2-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligi kuu Bara numbers at home for Alliance so far this season.
Alliance's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus KMC (placed 17th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at Coastal Union.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Alliance, as the Ligi kuu Bara home game vs Young Africans is only four days away.
The Alliance fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Alliance are not conceding a lot of goals here in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 6 matches.
Azam form and stats
The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Ligi kuu Bara.
Two travels in a row for Azam, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Ligi kuu Bara win against Mbao. Before that, Azam secured a home win against Biashara United with the score 2-1.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Ligi kuu Bara trip to Coastal Union.
Azam are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. The Azam defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (2 goals in 4 games).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Alliance won 0 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Azam has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 0 / 2Alliance missing players
