After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Young Africans and Coastal Union in this fresh Ligi kuu Bara season. Read our match preview!
The hosts Young Africans saw competitive action as recent as two days ago, playing in the Ligi kuu Bara. Thankfully the previous game, versus Polisi Tanzania, was also a home game here at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium. The away team is better rested.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Coastal Union have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-0-3 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.

Coastal Union form and stats
