KMC vs Azam FC Prediction: A perfect opportunity for a wounded guests to recover

After failing in their attempt to leapfrog Coastal Union in the fourth spot, KMC are presented with another opportunity to reduce the deficit when they face off against a wounded Azam FC at the Azam Complex on Sunday. Both teams are in dire need of the maximum points as they fight for the continental spot on the log; however, since this game will be played at the AZAM Complex Stadium, we expect the visitors to cart away all the points. 

Last five games: DWLDL

The home team have been below par in 2024, heading here with just two wins since the beginning of the year. 

KMC march here with another disappointing loss on the road against Mashujaa FC as they failed to take advantage of their fellow continental spot rivals. They conceded three goals without responding and are now struggling to keep up with the fourth place. 

They have one twice over their last five games, which happened to be against a struggling side in the division. 

KMC have drawn six, lost twice, and won five games at home this season, scoring eighteen while conceding sixteen times.

Unfortunately, Azam FC lost for the first time since October last year. Youssouph Dabo's men surrendered to a more determined Simba SC team as they were humiliated on their ground. After several attempts to take the lead before the break, when they hit the post and Feisal Salum missed a penalty kick, Simba SC found the back of the net three times without a response from Azam FC. The result left the second spot open, and they might just be out of the race to play in the CAF Champions League next season. Azam FC have scored fifty-two goals since the season began, conceding nineteen times. Azam FC have won seven, drawn four and lost once on the road this season. 

Over their previous twelve meetings, Azam FC have won six, while KMC have won four and two games ending in a tie. The hosts have not been themselves since the second half of the season. KMC have won twice this year and have lost twice over their last three games in the league. At the same time, Azam FC's twenty consecutive games without a defeat ended following their (0-3) home loss against Simba Sc.

Both teams have everything to play for here as the hosts must win to foster their chance of playing continental football, while AZAM FC will continue to fight for a CAF Champions League spot. Considering their form lately, Azam FC will be desperate to bounce back here, and since this game will be played on their pitch, we expect them to win before the break for 1.87.

We expect a positive response from the visitors, and we are confident they’ll win and score more than once 1.76.

This game will witness more than two goals for 2.05.

Good luck!
