After the first game it's Southern United - Eastern Suburbs 3-3 in points. Who will triumph in this second Premiership game of the season?
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This pitch has grass, which is not Eastern Suburbs's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Eastern Suburbs have performed like this: Played ten matches resulting in 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal stats 28-16 (scored/conceded).
It's quite the trip for Eastern Suburbs when visiting Southern United as the cities are 1400 kilometers apart.
Southern United form and stats
Southern United have only played one Premiership game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats from 9 matches.
Southern United's previous game was a Premiership match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Tasman United (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Southern United lost 0-3 at Eastern Suburbs's place.
As mentioned above, Southern United "killed" Tasman United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Southern United at home in the league. 4 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Eastern Suburbs form and stats
The supporters enjoyed Eastern Suburbs's previous game versus Canterbury United (placed 7th), a Premiership 1-0 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Team Wellington.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: 0 wins for Southern United, 0 draws and 4 wins for Eastern Suburbs. Over 2,5 goals: 2 times; under 2,5 goals: 2 games.Top Goalscorers
