Both squads are in good shape, Simba enjoying a 3 point advantage on Azam in the tables. Get this show on the road!
- Azam have not yet lost a game at home.
- Simba have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Ligi kuu Bara
Simba could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligi kuu Bara game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Young Africans. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Azam form and stats
Seven points from three Ligi kuu Bara home games is a great start for Azam, who are hoping to build on that form here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium.
The followers are hoping that Azam will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against KMC (placed 6th).
Ahead of that fixture, a home victory hosting Al-Akhdar in the CAF Confederations Cup.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Ihefu are coming to town in four days.
The Azam fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Azam are not conceding a lot of goals here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Simba form and stats
Four points from two away games for Simba, meaning one draw and one victory in the Ligi kuu Bara so far.
Simba are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Young Africans (placed 1st).
Before that game, the win at home against 1 de Agosto in the CAF Champions League (1-0).
A quick return to home after this game, as Simba are hosting Mtibwa Sugar in the Ligi kuu Bara only three days away.
It's early days yet, but Simba has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Simba have managed a streak of 10 consecutive games without defeat (5-5-0) when facing Azam.Azam missing players
