Black Leopards are welcoming Kaizer Chiefs for another important game after their 0-0 result against 15th-placed Chippa United.

Insights:
  • Black Leopards have the most conceded goals (42) in Premier League
  • Kaizer Chiefs have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Kaizer Chiefs could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a CAF Champions League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Simba, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Kaizer Chiefs.

Relegation threatens Leopards who should definitely be looking for some points here. Kaizer Chiefs are struggling to avoid relegation.

Black Leopards form and stats

With 2 Premier League wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Black Leopards, who have the most conceded goals (42) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Leopards fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Orlando Pirates game long ago, can be stopped today.

S. Mathenjwa was the last player to score a league goal for Black Leopards and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Leopards haven't scored in 214 minutes.

Leopards drew their last game, 0-0 away at Chippa United (placed 15th).

Heartbreak before that as Black Leopards lost 0-3 at Orlando Pirates's place.

Leopards have scored 9 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Leopards have conceded 21 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Kaizer Chiefs form and stats

4 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Kaizer Chiefs playing as the away team in the Premier League this season.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Kaizer, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Simba.

That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Simba.

Kaizer have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 15 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Kaizer have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Kaizer Chiefs - Black Leopards 2-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Leopards won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Kaizer Chiefs has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
