Jomo Cosmos form and stats

Jomo Cosmos participated in Nedbank Cup the last season, where they reached the 16th finals.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the First Division this season. Jomo Cosmos have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Profert Olën Park.

In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Cape Town All Stars.

This is expected to be a close game, with Jomo Cosmos perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jomo Cosmos as a small favourite), we find five games. Cosmos has won two of these, drawn two and lost one.

The Cosmos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. Jomo Cosmos have conceded 8 in these home matches.

Black Leopards form and stats

Black Leopards was sent out of Nedbank Cup in the quarter-finals last season.

The visitors are W0-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. With the Leopards losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Visiting Leopards has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus TS Galaxy with 0-3 on the scoreboard. A loss against Mamelodi Sundowns was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Black Leopards in our archives, and the results are: one win for Leopards, one draw and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Leopards have conceded 8 goals in their away g% 100% 91% 100% 0% Over 1.5 O 1.5 100% 100% 100% 82% 100% 0% Over 2.5 O 2.5 100% 60% 73% 55% 60% 0% Over 3.5 O 3.5 0% 40% 36% 9% 0% 0% Over 4.5 O 4.5 0% 40% 36% 82% 100% 0% BTTS BTTS 100% 100% 100% 0% 0% 0% Clean Sheets C S 0% 0% 0% 18% 0% 0% Failed to Score F T 0% 0% 0%   2 0 0 Corners For (avg) C F 0 4 4.7 7 0 0 Corners Against (avg) C A 0 5.5 5.3 4 0 0 Yellow Cards (avg) Y C 0 1.5 2.3 0 0 0 Red Cards R C 0 1 2 Key stats this season:
