Azam FC vs Kagera Sugar Prediction: We expect a flying start from the hosts

In this highly competitive encounter, Azam will be keen to hold on to their spot on the log when they face off against Kagera United at the Azam Complex on Saturday. The hosts have a more significant task to accomplish as they hope to secure a CAF Championship ticket, while the visitors must win either of their last two matches to avoid the relegation playoff.

Youssouph Dabo's men continue to soar higher as they recover fully from their devastating defeat on their ground against Simba SC. Since the loss, they have won back-to-back games away from home. Azam FC head here after seeing off a defensive JkT Tanzania team on the road. They became the only team to have beaten the hosts in eight tries. The result was after their phenomenal performance against a decent KMC team. 

Azam FC have scored fifty-six goals since the season began, conceding twenty times. Azam FC have picked up thirty-two points in their last fourteen games on their ground, conceding thirteen and scoring thirty-two.

The visiting side have had a tough run lately, with five games without a breakthrough. Kagera Sugar were once again below par as they were defeated on their ground against Coastal Union. They are out to race to finish fourth this season and must at least secure a point here to stand a chance of surviving relegation. Their result means they have now won three in their last eighteen matches. Kagera Sugar have picked up thirty-one points from a possible eighty-four, scoring nineteen while conceding twenty-four goals. 

Kagera Sugar have lost seven, drawn four, and won twice on the road this season. 

Over their previous seventeen meetings, Kagera Sugar SC have won three while Azam have recorded ten wins and four games ending in a tie. Azam FC bounced back from their recent home defeat with back-to-back wins as they retained their spot on the log. However, the guests have not lived up to expectations in the league this season, and we think they won’t have it easy against their opponent, who can’t afford to drop points here. The most realistic scenario here is a straight victory for the hosts because we can't think about anything that could stop them here.

Feisal Salum is eyeing the Golden Boot this season, and with two goals below Young African midfielder Aziz Ki, we expect a more aggressive attacking approach from the hosts; bet on Azam's halftime victory for 1.72.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 1.77.

This game might even end in more than a goal before the break for 2.59.

Good luck!
