- Azam have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Tanzania Prisons have the fewest points (8) away in Ligi kuu Bara
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Tanzania Prisons 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 0-4-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Both squads have had time to rest since their previous exertion in an official match. Let's trust this will be an enthusiastic match!
