Miguel Gamando's men have been firing from all cylinders this campaign, marching here with a slim (0-1) victory over the inform Singida Black Stars on the road. It hasn’t been rosy for Yanga Boys in front of goal, but they have been solid defensively. They found the back of the net once against their opponent away from home. Their game management have been top-notch this campaign as they’ve grind out results in difficult games. 

Yanga Boys have proven why they'll defend their title for the second time this season. Yanga Boys have scored thirteen times this campaign and are yet to concede in over 1080 minutes of play in all competitions this season.

Young Africans have won eight consecutive league games on the road.

Rachid Taoussi's men continue their resurgence after their poor start to the campaign. Azam FC secured their sixth win of the campaign, defeating Kengold FC (4-1) on their home turf. Azam FC managed the game well, finding the back of the net four times before conceding from a spot-kick in the 87th minute. It was their second-biggest win of the season as they moved to fourth place on the log. Coach Rachid Taoussi's men seem back on their feet after their setback against Simba lately. 

Rachid Taoussi's comrades have won five, drawn three and lost once since the start of this season. They have also won three and lost twice over their previous five away games.

The last twenty games have ended in eleven wins and three draws for Young Africans, while Azam FC have managed five victories. Young Africans have focused on winning and defending well this season rather than scoring for fun. Yanga Boys have been the best team in the league this season, considering the fact that they have beaten their arch-rival Simba SC and the most in-form team this season, Singida BS. 

Going by Azam FC's display against top sides this season, we anticipate a comfortable victory for the hosts here. Even though this game will be held on Azam FC's home turf, they’ll struggle against the Yanga Boys here.

Young Africans have played 1080 minutes without conceding this season, and we expect them to maintain such a run here; bet on BTTS no for 1.63.

We anticipate a win and under 3.5 goals for the hosts for 2.08.

Good luck!
