This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, AmaZulu holding 15th place and Baroka lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
AmaZulu and Baroka should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Baroka, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
AmaZulu form and stats
With 3 Premier League wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, AmaZulu are certainly not brimming with confidence.
AmaZulu enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Kaizer Chiefs's place. The match ended 1-0 with B. Ntuli scoring. Nobody expected AmaZulu to beat Kaizer Chiefs in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Prior to that, an away loss at Chippa United.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how AmaZulu have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost two.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for AmaZulu here at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 11 games). 15 goals have been conceded.
Baroka form and stats
Baroka have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 3-1-7 (11 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Baroka in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Chippa United.
Baroka might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Bloemfontein Celtic proved too strong as Baroka slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Peter Mokaba Stadium. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Black Leopards.
Baroka are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, one draw and eight defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
The schedule is very tough for Baroka now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Orlando Pirates is waiting in only three days.
Baroka are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 11 away games. Baroka are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 8 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
