Real Kings will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 2 points behind Tshakhuma.
The visiting Tshakhuma played their last game only three days ago, a Gladafrica Championship match. That game was also an away game, at Uthongathi. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Real Kings form and stats
Real Kings's struggle is real here at King Zwelithini Stadium with only 6 points collected from 6 Gladafrica Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.
The Real Kings goalkeeper Hugo Claude Patrick Nyame is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 268 minutes without conceding a goal.
The home team returns to King Zwelithini Stadium after sharing the points with Steenberg United (placed 6th) on their last time out; the Gladafrica Championship game ended 0-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Free State Stars in a game that was won 3-0.
The Real Kings fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. On the other hand, Real Kings have conceded 8 goals.
Tshakhuma form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tshakhuma so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
Tshakhuma are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Uthongathi (placed 1st). Prior to that match, the Tshakhuma manager P. Mohafe faced defeat when travelling to TS Sporting and losing 0-1.
Tshakhuma find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Tshakhuma have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Last three meetings between the teams: Real Kings won 0, Tshakhuma won 1 and 2 draws. 1 game with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
