With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Steenberg United fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Jomo Cosmos.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Steenberg are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Cosmos are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Steenberg United form and stats
Steenberg United have collected 24 points from their Gladafrica Championship home games so far after 6-6-2. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.
In their previous game, the manager T. Hempe led his Steenberg to a defeat in the Gladafrica Championship match away at Moroka Swallows. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Makhulong Stadium. A 1-1 draw away before that, with TS Sporting the opponent.
Steenberg are traveling soon after this match as the Gladafrica Championship match at Royal Eagles awaits in four days.
Steenberg have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Makhulong Stadium with 21 goals in 14 league matches. Steenberg have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Jomo Cosmos form and stats
Jomo Cosmos have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Gladafrica Championship, after 3-4-7 (14 played).
Cosmos had fun at their own home (Makhulong Stadium) last time out, beating Free State Stars 2-1.
After this away game Cosmos return home for a Gladafrica Championship game against University of Pretoria. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Cosmos when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Cosmos have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
