Competition: South Africa First Division
Date: Sat 28.September
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Athlone Stadium (34000 seats)

The Ajax Cape Town manager A. Ulderink attacks this game with the team placed 7th so far. In the visitors dressing room Royal Eagles and their manager M. Ramorebodi are in 14th place before this match.

Ajax Cape Town and Royal Eagles should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Royal Eagles have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Ajax Cape Town form and stats

Ajax Cape Town, who have the most conceded goals (7) at home in First Division, have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the First Division. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

In their previous game, the manager A. Ulderink led his Ajax Cape Town to a defeat in the First Division match away at TS Galaxy. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Athlone Stadium. Ahead of that match, Ajax Cape Town won a home game hosting Tshakhuma (3-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ajax Cape Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

The Ajax Cape Town manager A. Ulderink has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. Ajax Cape Town have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
