Chippa United form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Chippa United's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
The fans are hoping that Chippa United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Stellenbosch (placed 9th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Maritzburg United in a game that was won 3-1.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Chippa United at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Tshakhuma form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first Premier League away game of the season. During their previous season 15 away games resulted in 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats.
Tshakhuma go into this game after a win, the home game against Baroka that ended 1-0. A loss against Moroka Swallows was the result prior to that, in a home game.
J. Shonga came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Baroka last time out, making the manager J. Masutha feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when J. Shonga scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Baroka.
Tshakhuma have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
