JKT Tanzania will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 12 points behind Young Africans.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligi kuu Bara. That game was also an away game, at Mwadui. 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.
This pitch has grass, which is not Young Africans's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Young Africans have performed like this: Played 19 matches resulting in 8 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats with the goal stats 13-19 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
