Pretoria Callies form and stats
3-4-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Pretoria Callies in their Gladafrica Championship matches away.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Pretoria manager S. Troughton as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Uthongathi.
