An important duel in the bottom section of the Gladafrica Championship, with both TS Galaxy and TS Sporting experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 13th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
TS Galaxy form and stats
Overall Gladafrica Championship stats at home this season for TS Galaxy are 2-6-3 (wins-draw-losses).
A strong away win for TS Galaxy against University of Pretoria the last match, as K. Shozi were on target. A Nedbank Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Chippa United.

TS Sporting form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for TS Sporting so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-4 (win-draw-lose). TS Sporting has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Two travels in a row for TS Sporting, whose manager R. Mathaba could celebrate last time after the Nedbank Cup win against Happy Wanderers (after extra-time). A draw for TS Sporting before that, at their own venue hosting Free State Stars (1-1).
As you can tell from the result, the match against Happy Wanderers (after extra-time) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
