Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Uthongathi - JDR Stars!
Uthongathi form and stats
Overall Gladafrica Championship stats at home this season for Uthongathi, who have the most clean sheets (9) in Gladafrica Championship, are 3-6-3 (wins-draw-losses). With seven home Gladafrica Championship games in a row without a win, the Uthongathi fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Jomo Cosmos game long ago, can be stopped today. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Uthongathi has six draws from their last six matches.
Uthongathi travelled for their previous game, a trip to Moroka Swallows that ended 0-0. 2-2 away at TS Sporting before that.
Uthongathi has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. On the other hand, Uthongathi have conceded 12 goals.

The supporters enjoyed Stars's previous game versus Tshakhuma (placed 4th), a Gladafrica Championship 1-0 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Steenberg United.
A quick return to home after this game, as JDR Stars are hosting TS Sporting in the Gladafrica Championship only four days away.
