Al-Akhdar have played 4 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The home supporters witnessed a 1-1 draw vs Saint Eloi Lupopo in the CAF Confederations Cup last time out and are looking for a victory here.

A 1-1 draw away in the Premier League before that, with Al-Suqoor (after extra-time) the opponent.

Marumo Gallants FC form and stats

Last season their CAF Confederations Cup adventure ended in the play-offs against TP Mazembe.

There's been little loot from Marumo Gallants FC's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 12 away games in the Premier League. Marumo Gallants FC only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws.

Marumo Gallants FC has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Cape Town City (after extra-time) for a 2-2 draw.

Before that one, the victory at home against USM Alger (after extra-time) in the CAF Confederations Cup (2-0). So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Marumo Gallants FC playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 3 Marumo Gallants FC wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

The attacking power of Gallants when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. As opposed to that, Marumo Gallants FC have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
