Baroka hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 12th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Orlando Pirates holds 8th place with 16 pts.
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!
Baroka form and stats
Baroka's struggle is real here at Peter Mokaba Stadium with only 3 points collected from 7 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-4. Baroka are slowly digging their own grave here at Peter Mokaba Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Cape Town City match.
Baroka are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 263 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by P. Nxumalo).
The home team returns to Peter Mokaba Stadium after sharing the points with Chippa United (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Baroka lost 0-1 at home to Golden Arrows.
