Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Police XI in 9th and BDF XI in 8th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Police XI form and stats
Police XI's results here at Otse Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Police XI, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Police XI fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Otse Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against Notwane (placed 13th). Prior to that, an away loss at Township Rollers.
Police XI have scored 8 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Police XI have conceded 10 in these home matches.
BDF XI form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, BDF XI have produced an overall stat of 3-2-2 so far.
Two travels in a row for BDF XI, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Premier League win against Extension Gunners. A 0-4 loss hosting Orapa United before that.
