Kagera Sugar will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 13 points behind Azam.
- Azam have the most scored goals in the second half (19) in Ligi kuu Bara
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This pitch has grass, which is not Azam's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Azam have performed like this: Played 27 matches resulting in 8 wins, 10 draws and 9 defeats with the goal stats 18-19 (scored/conceded).
Azam have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Kagera Sugar form and stats
5 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Kagera Sugar have to build on here at Kaitaba Stadium in the Ligi kuu Bara. Kagera have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligi kuu Bara game versus Namungo in only three days. This game is also played here at Kaitaba Stadium.
Kagera are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. From these home matches, Kagera Sugar have conceded only 9 goals.
Azam form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Ligi kuu Bara.
Azam has another fixture away, a Ligi kuu Bara game, against Mwadui in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Azam as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Azam as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Azam - Kagera 4-2 earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Kagera Sugar won two, Azam won six and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Kagera Sugar missing players
