This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Bloemfontein Celtic holding 13th place and Tshakhuma lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Bloemfontein Celtic haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Tshakhuma has the fewest scored goals (7) in Premier League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Bloemfontein Celtic form and stats
Bloemfontein Celtic have played 6 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Bloemfontein.
In their previous game, the manager J. Maduka led his Bloemfontein to a defeat in the CAF Confederations Cup match away at Rivers United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium. 0-0 away at Mamelodi Sundowns before that.
The manager J. Maduka will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AmaZulu in only three days.
Bloemfontein Celtic are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. Bloemfontein are not conceding a lot of goals here at Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 6 matches.
Tshakhuma form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tshakhuma, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Premier League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Tshakhuma who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Cape Town City was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Masutha, the Tshakhuma manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Tshakhuma have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 383 minutes ago. T. R. Nevhulamba was the goal scorer.
Home advantage was not enough for Tshakhuma in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting SuperSport United, 0-2. Prior to that match, the Tshakhuma manager J. Masutha faced defeat when travelling to Kaizer Chiefs and losing 0-3.
Tshakhuma are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. 8 goals have been conceded by Tshakhuma in these games.
