Jomo Cosmos form and stats

Jomo Cosmos's struggle is real here with only 10 points collected from 12 Gladafrica Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-7-4. Cosmos are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Real Kings match.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Cosmos, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 267 minutes in the Gladafrica Championship.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Cosmos here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (9 from 12 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 13 goals have been conceded.

Steenberg United form and stats

Steenberg United, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Gladafrica Championship, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Gladafrica Championship, after 0-2-8 (10 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Steenberg United have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Cape Umoya United game.

The schedule is very tough for Steenberg now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Gladafrica Championship game at Pretoria Callies is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Steenberg when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. The Steenberg manager M. Lukhubene has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
