Maritzburg United U23 form and stats

With 2 Diski Challenge wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Maritzburg United U23 are certainly not brimming with confidence. When Maritzburg United U23 hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Maritzburg United U23, Swallows U23, TS Galaxy U23, Richards Bay U23 and Royal AM U23), they have won 2 of 2 matches!

Maritzburg United U23 enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Royal AM U23's place. The match ended 2-1. A big relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, six matches in a row.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Stellenbosch U23 that finished 1-1.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 10 latest league games shows that 8 of them had goals from both sides.

The Maritzburg United U23 fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Maritzburg defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Chippa United U23 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chippa United U23 so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Chippa United U23 in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kaizer Chiefs U23.

There might be some fixture complaints from Chippa United U23 as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-3 against Richards Bay U23.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Sekhukhune United U23.

Chippa United U23 are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). The Chippa manager has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
