Only a win will satisfy the Uthongathi supporters in this Princess Magogo Stadium clash with Royal AM, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Gladafrica Championship table.
- Uthongathi have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Royal AM has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (0) in Gladafrica Championship
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!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Uthongathi form and stats
2 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Uthongathi have to build on here at Princess Magogo Stadium in the Gladafrica Championship.
In their previous game, the manager S. Dladla led his Uthongathi to a defeat in the Nedbank Cup match away at Orlando Pirates. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Princess Magogo Stadium.
This is expected to be a close game, with Uthongathi perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Uthongathi as a small favourite), we find four games. Uthongathi has won one of these, drawn one and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Polokwane City are coming to town in four days.
Uthongathi are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Uthongathi have conceded 6 goals.
Royal AM form and stats
There's been little loot from Royal AM's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Gladafrica Championship. Royal AM, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in Gladafrica Championship, only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.
There might be some fixture complaints from Royal as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Nedbank Cup match against Pretoria Callies (0-1).
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Royal in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Royal AM, four draws and zero defeats.
A new game in only four days for Royal, the Gladafrica Championship home match versus Bizana Pondo Chiefs. Busy days.
Goals are few and far between in Royal AM's away league games. Only 1 goal from 6 travels. 7 goals have been conceded by Royal AM in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Uthongathi three wins, one draw and Royal AM zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
