Maritzburg United form and stats

It's not happening yet for Maritzburg United on their Premier League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Maritzburg United as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Baroka match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Maritzburg United have lost on their last two travels.

Maritzburg United lost away at Chippa United (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Cape Town City.

It's early days yet, but Maritzburg United has scored 2 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
