TS Galaxy hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 33 points and a 12th position in the Gladafrica Championship table. Visiting Free State Stars holds 7th place with 39 pts.
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.
Relegation threatens Galaxy who should definitely be looking for some points here. State are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Free State Stars form and stats
4 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Free State Stars playing as the away team in the Gladafrica Championship this season. State has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from State as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Gladafrica Championship match against Jomo Cosmos (1-2).
A quick return to home after this game, as State are hosting JDR Stars in the Gladafrica Championship only four days away.
State are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 14 games (in the league). 19 goals have been conceded by State in these games.
