Season ticket holders at CCM Kirumba Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Mbao languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Lipuli will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Lipuli have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Mbao are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Lipuli are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
