Season ticket holders at Molepolole Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Gilport Lions languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting BDF XI will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Gilport Lions form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Gilport Lions have only managed 1 win, 0 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Molepolole Stadium. It's been an uphill battle for Gilport Lions in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Extension Gunners game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The Gilport Lions goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.

Happy days for Gilport Lions in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Miscellaneous (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Morupule Wanderers and winning 2-0.

Gilport Lions are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. As for conceded goals, Gilport Lions's unpleasant statistic is 15 goals surrendered.

BDF XI form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, BDF XI have produced an overall stat of 2-1-2 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, BDF XI are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

BDF XI delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Police XI (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. A 0-2 defeat away at Orapa United before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the BDF XI manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Security Systems.

BDF XI find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. BDF XI have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
