The Platinum City Rovers supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Cape Town Spurs (after extra-time) in Nedbank Cup and win 3-2. The game against Cape Town Spurs (after extra-time) had lots of late drama as Platinum came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Gomez's goal in the 104th minute.

Uthongathi form and stats

2-5-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Uthongathi in their Gladafrica Championship matches away. Two points from the last two away games for Uthongathi, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Uthongathi have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 361 minutes ago. Dube was the goal scorer.

Uthongathi has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Jomo Cosmos (after extra-time) for a Nedbank Cup game that ended a draw (0-0).

Before that, Uthongathi travelled to Black Leopards and returned home with a draw after the Gladafrica Championship game finished 0-0.
