Azam will look to keep winning momentum in the NBC Premier League when they host Ken Gold at Chamazi Complex this evening.

The clash between one of the main title contenders and one of the worst teams in the division will kick-off at 7pm.

Azam, under Moroccan coach Rachid Taoussi (pictured), snapped their two-game winless run with an impressive 1-0 away win over Namungo. 

Captain Lusajo Mwaikenda netted the only goal of the game twelve minutes to normal stoppage time to the big relief of coach Taoussi.

Added to a 2-0 win over Tanzania Prisons on Monday, this leaves Taoussi looking for a hat-trick of wins for the first time since taking over from Youssouph Dabo last month.

Overall, Taoussi’s men have suffered a solitary defeat in the Premier League this term, picking up four wins and three draws in the process as they sit fifth in the table, four behind leaders Singida Black Stars.

The former Raja Casablanca coach will be happy that his side has kept three successive clean sheets, and will look to his forwards to hit their stride and put more chances into the back of the net.

Ken Gold currently find themselves anchored at the bottom of the table after a difficult start to the campaign. Results have not improved significantly after replacing Fikiri Elias with the Chale Jumanne.

The league newcomers come into the clash on the back of a 3–0 loss away to Mashujaa FC on Monday, with the result representing their sixth defeat of the campaign.

The visitors' away league form is also concerning. They are the only side yet to pick a point on the road in all their four away games so far in this campaign.

They have been struggling defensively, conceding goals in all but one of their eight fixtures as they look like they may require open-heart surgery if they are to avoid a swift relegation back down to the second tier.
