Competition: South Africa Premier League

Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Cape Town Stadium (64100 seats)

This is the Premier League opening game for these participants, whom at last are playing for points again. Will Cape Town City or SuperSport United get that vital first three points?

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

SuperSport United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cape Town City form and stats

The previous season, Cape Town City's league results were 10 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses, ending with 7th spot in the Premier League. From these 30 matches they scored 42 goals and conceded 40. Appearing at home in the previous season Cape Town City generated 6-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 22 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Cape perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cape Town City as a small favourite), we find six games. Cape Town City has won one of these, drawn two and lost three.

Cape are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Bloemfontein Celtic awaits in four days.

SuperSport United form and stats

Let's have a look at how SuperSport United performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 12 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 37 and conceded 31 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 6 with 19/21 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SuperSport playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were four SuperSport United wins, two draws and five defeats.

After this away game SuperSport return home for a Premier League game against Golden Arrows. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the former ten meetings featuring these two contenders are: five wins for Cape Town City, four draws and one win for SuperSport United. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.
