Struggling Coastal Union will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Azam in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Azam has the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Ligi kuu Bara

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Ligi kuu Bara game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Simba. 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Azam have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
