It's looking great for Azam at this point, with their 4th spot in the Ligi kuu Bara table and hosting Mtibwa Sugar (who are placed 9th).
- Azam have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Mtibwa Sugar have the most conceded goals (38) in Ligi kuu Bara
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical 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 artifical turf is 0-0-8 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
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 Azam and Mtibwa Sugar.
