2nd position in the Ligi kuu Bara table for Azam so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Mwadui visits.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Mwadui 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 0-0-7 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Azam can neither be promoted or relegated from Ligi kuu Bara. Mwadui are struggling to avoid relegation.

Azam form and stats

37 points is a decent return from 17 Ligi kuu Bara games here for Azam. The data says 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. Ever since the Simba game Azam has been unbeatable here producing four straight wins.

Azam's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 7-0 versus Singida United (placed 20th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Biashara United that finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, Azam "killed" Singida United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The Azam fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 32 goals in 17 league matches. Azam have only conceded 13 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Mwadui form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mwadui so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-10 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Mwadui manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Mwadui play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to KMC (placed 13th).

The attacking power of Mwadui when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 16 league matches away. As for defending, Mwadui rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 26 goals from these away matches.
