The home supporters await a win in this game, and the home advantage could mean an extra goal versus a struggling visitor. Hungry Lions are in 11th place while the guesting Black Leopards sweat at 13th.
- Black Leopards have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hungry Lions form and stats
Hungry Lions have played 7 Gladafrica Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Hungry with their five defeats in a row. Not since the TTM game, 41 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Hungry are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 282 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by D. Abrahams).
The Hungry Lions crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to TS Sporting here in a Gladafrica Championship match.
Heartbreak before that as Hungry lost 0-1 at JDR Stars's place.The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Hungry here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (4 from 7 games). From these home matches, Hungry have conceded only 6 goals.
Black Leopards form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Black Leopards so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Leopards's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against Pretoria Callies in their previous game.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Venda FC wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Black Leopards as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded by Leopards in these games.
