4th position in the Ligi kuu Bara table for Azam so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 10th-placed Mtibwa Sugar visits.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Mtibwa Sugar have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-3-2 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
