Competition: Wed 15.July
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)

The visiting Azam side should be favourites in this visit to Mtibwa Sugar, as the away team holds a 28 point advantage from their 35 league games this season.

Mtibwa Sugar and Azam should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

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.

Mtibwa are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Azam is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
