Tactical Breakdown
| Team | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
| Azam FC | Strong home form, clinical attack | Occasional defensive lapses |
| Tabora United | Disciplined defense, counter-attacks | Inconsistent attack, poor away form |
Azam will likely dominate possession, using wingers to stretch Tabora’s compact defense. Tabora will rely on a low block and quick counters, targeting Azam’s high defensive line. Set pieces could be decisive, with Azam’s aerial threat (e.g., Bangala) facing Tabora’s Nyoso.
Prediction
Azam FC are favorites due to their superior home record and attacking depth. Tabora’s defensive setup may frustrate Azam early, but Sillah and Salum are likely to find the net. Expect Azam to control the game and secure a comfortable win.
