2nd position in the Ligi kuu Bara table for Azam so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 8th-placed Ruvu Shooting visits Uhuru Stadium.
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 Ruvu Shooting 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 0-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
