It's early days in the Ligi kuu Bara and both Azam and Mwadui are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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 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 form and stats
As mentioned below, Azam are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Ligi kuu Bara games.
A nice win for Azam last time playing, versus Kagera Sugar. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-2. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Tanzania Prisons.
A goal frenzy last time out for Azam, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Kagera Sugar. Fun stuff to watch!
There will be little rest for Azam after this match as they are travelling to Ihefu for a Ligi kuu Bara game in only one day.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), Azam's attacking play is working. Azam have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Mwadui form and stats
Mwadui are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligi kuu Bara, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Mwadui goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 186 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two travels in a row for Mwadui, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Ligi kuu Bara win against Namungo. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Ihefu.
A new game in only one day for Mwadui, the Ligi kuu Bara home match versus Mbeya City. Busy days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mwadui's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
