Pretoria Callies form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Gladafrica Championship this season. Pretoria Callies have only managed 2 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses from their games here at BidVest Stadium. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Pretoria with their four defeats in a row. Not since the TTM game, 43 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Pretoria are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 326 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Chirambadare).

Pretoria Callies lost their last game at Venda FC (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Ahead of that match, Pretoria lost 0-1 at home to Polokwane City.

Pretoria Callies are traveling soon after this match as the Nedbank Cup match at Venda FC awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Pretoria in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

Platinum City Rovers form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Platinum City Rovers playing as the away team in the Gladafrica Championship this season. It's a growing despair in Platinum as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Platinum City Rovers's previous game was their home loss versus Cape Town All Stars (0-1).

Prior to that match, the Platinum manager Sutton faced defeat when travelling to Richards Bay and losing 2-5.

After this away game Platinum City Rovers return home for a Nedbank Cup game against Ajax Cape Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Platinum when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Platinum have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The former H2H meeting ended Platinum City Rovers - Pretoria 0-2, earlier this season.
