Competition: Tanzania Ligi kuu Bara

Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

This could be an interesting match as Kagera Sugar have their presumed home advantage while Young Africans are ahead 14 points in the Ligi kuu Bara table.

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 Biashara United. 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.

8-3-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Young Africans when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 18 matches are 13-19 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Young Africans when visiting Kagera as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.

Relegation threatens Kagera who should definitely be looking for some points here. Africans is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
