Struggling Mtibwa Sugar will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Azam in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
7-3-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Azam 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 16 matches are 10-9 (scored/conceded).
Mtibwa Sugar form and stats
Mtibwa Sugar have collected 5 points from their Ligi kuu Bara home games so far after 1-2-1.
Mtibwa's previous game was a Ligi kuu Bara match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Namungo (placed 8th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Mtibwa lost 0-2 at Gwambina's place.
Mtibwa have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Mtibwa Sugar have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Azam form and stats

Azam have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 219 minutes since they last conceded in Ligi kuu Bara.
It's the second away game in a row for Azam, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Ihefu (placed 18th) in the Ligi kuu Bara last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Mwadui.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Azam have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. Azam are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 0 away goals have been conceded so far.
