A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Mamelodi Sundowns fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Bloemfontein Celtic's 11th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Mamelodi Sundowns has the fewest conceded goals (5) in Premier League
- Bloemfontein Celtic has the fewest points (1) away in Premier League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mamelodi and Bloemfontein Celtic.
Mamelodi Sundowns form and stats
Mamelodi Sundowns, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Premier League, have collected 13 points from their Premier League home games so far after 4-1-0. After failing to beat Tshakhuma here, Mamelodi Sundowns has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
The Mamelodi goalkeeper Denis Masinde Onyango is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 248 minutes without conceding a goal in the Premier League.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with SuperSport United (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the Premier League game ended 0-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus Baroka with a 2-0 scoreline.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Moroka Swallows in only four days. This game is also played here.
Goals decide football matches and Mamelodi are scoring many of them at home; 10 on target from 5 league matches. From these home matches, Mamelodi have conceded only 3 goals.
Bloemfontein Celtic form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest points (1) away in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bloemfontein have lost on their last two travels.
Home advantage was not enough for Bloemfontein in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Stellenbosch, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting SuperSport United's place.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to TS Galaxy.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bloemfontein have scored 5 goals in 5 league games away. The Bloemfontein manager J. Maduka has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Mamelodi won six, Bloemfontein Celtic won one and three draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
