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, Likhopo in 8th and Lioli in 5th 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!
Likhopo form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Likhopo are 1-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).
Likhopo's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Matlama (placed 2nd). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Bantu.
The Likhopo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Lioli form and stats
Lioli have six points from their first three away games in the Premier League, meaning two victories and a loss. Lioli love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
It's the second away game in a row for Lioli, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus LMPS (placed 6th) in the Premier League last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Sefotha-Fotha.
The Lioli manager has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
