The visiting SuperSport United side should be favourites in this visit to Black Leopards, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 26 league games this season.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Golden Arrows, so at least Leopards are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Relegation threatens Leopards who should definitely be looking for some points here. SuperSport United are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Black Leopards form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Black Leopards, who have the most conceded goals (39) in Premier League, are 5-3-5 (wins-draw-losses).
Black Leopards enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Golden Arrows's place. The match ended 2-1 with M. Musonda (2) scoring. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Maritzburg United in a game that was won 3-2.
A late climax in the match against Golden Arrows as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by M. Musonda.
The manager M. Shivambu will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AmaZulu in only four days.
The Leopards fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. Leopards have conceded 15 in these home matches.
SuperSport United form and stats
5-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for SuperSport United in their Premier League matches away.
SuperSport won their last game, 2-0 versus Polokwane City played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bloemfontein Celtic.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the SuperSport United manager K. Tembo as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Orlando Pirates.
The visiting SuperSport have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 12 goals from 12 games. It's not easy to score on SuperSport as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
