An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 16th place.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
TS Galaxy form and stats
TS Galaxy, who have the fewest conceded goals (1) at home in Gladafrica Championship, must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Gladafrica Championship games here at Kameelrivier Stadium.
The TS Galaxy fans got no joy from their last match, a CAF Confederations Cup game also here at Kameelrivier Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Enyimba. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Enyimba (0-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how TS Galaxy have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 0 Drawn 2 Lost 2.

Royal Eagles form and stats
It's not happening yet for Royal Eagles on their Gladafrica Championship travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Sibiya, the Royal Eagles manager, as the last three away games were defeats. It's a growing despair in Royal Eagles as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Gladafrica Championship home defeat versus Tshakhuma with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Cape Umoya United before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Royal Eagles playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 1 Royal Eagles win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Royal Eagles find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Royal Eagles have conceded 6 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
