- Baroka have not yet lost a game at home.
- Chippa United have yet to win a game away.

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Baroka's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The home team returns to Peter Mokaba Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Orlando Pirates (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Tshakhuma.
The hometeam coach T. Matsemela made a successful contribution in the game against Orlando Pirates, bringing on A. Gebhardt who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.
