AmaZulu form and stats

6-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for AmaZulu so far this season. AmaZulu has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Kaizer Chiefs defeat 101 days ago.

AmaZulu are confident in defense, having played 473 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Stellenbosch.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how AmaZulu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won four, drawn eight and lost two.

There will be little rest for AmaZulu after this match as they are travelling to Cape Town City for a Premier League game in only four days.

AmaZulu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. From these home matches, AmaZulu have conceded only 10 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

TS Galaxy form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in Galaxy as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

TS Galaxy might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tshakhuma proved too strong as Galaxy slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Kameelrivier Stadium. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Bloemfontein Celtic's place.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by TS Galaxy in our archives, and the results are: two wins for TS Galaxy, four draws and four defeats.

The schedule is very tough for TS Galaxy now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Baroka is waiting in only four days.

Galaxy find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on TS Galaxy as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

TS Galaxy - AmaZulu 1-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
