Royal AM form and stats
The story so far in the Premier League for Royal AM at their home stadium (Chatsworth Stadium) is 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. Royal has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Chatsworth Stadium. We remember; it was Cape Town City.
The Royal supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host SuperSport United in Premier League and win 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Maduka when Menzi Masuku scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute. A late climax in the match against SuperSport United as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Menzi Masuku.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Orlando Pirates the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Royal have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 5 games), Royal's attacking play is working. Royal's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

A 0-2 defeat away at SuperSport United before that.We have checked recent matches where Baroka have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, two draws and five defeats.
