This could be an interesting match as Highlands Park have their presumed home advantage while Golden Arrows are ahead 3 points in the Premier League table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Highlands Park form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Highlands Park have to build on here at Makhulong Stadium in the Premier League.
Highlands Park haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 229 minutes ago. P. Shalulile scored that one.
Highlands Park lost their last game at SuperSport United (placed 2nd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Cape Town City that finished 0-0.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Highlands Park have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 1 Lost 2.
The Highlands Park fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 6 league matches. Highlands Park have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Golden Arrows form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Golden Arrows so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Bidvest Wits with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Black Leopards's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Golden Arrows playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were 3 Golden Arrows wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.
Golden Arrows are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 7 away games. As opposed to that, Golden Arrows have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
