Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, University of Pretoria in 6th and TS Sporting in 10th place.
- University of Pretoria haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- TS Sporting have scored more than double the goals of University of Pretoria.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
University of Pretoria form and stats
University of Pretoria must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Gladafrica Championship games here at ABSA Tuks Stadium. Pretoria has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Z. Dlangalala and the players.
N. Dlamini was the last player to score a league goal for Pretoria and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as University of Pretoria haven't scored in 292 minutes.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Pretoria as they are travelling to their away game against Royal AM in the Gladafrica Championship. That match is three days after this one.
Pretoria aren't scoring a lot here at ABSA Tuks Stadium in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Defensively Pretoria have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

It's early days yet, but TS Sporting has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
