Competition: Tanzania Ligi kuu Bara
Competition: Sun 19.July
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

The visiting Azam side should be favourites in this visit to Lipuli, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 36 league games this season.

Azam could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligi kuu Bara game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Mtibwa Sugar, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Azam.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Azam's home stadium. The visitors last 17 games on grass have ended in 6 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses.

Lipuli are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. For Azam most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
