- Mamelodi Sundowns has the most scored goals (16) in Premier League
- Orlando Pirates has the most points from losing position (5) in Premier League
Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Mamelodi Sundowns form and stats
Mamelodi Sundowns, who have the most scored goals (16) in Premier League, have collected 10 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-1-0. There’s a good atmosphere here at Loftus Versfeld Stadium after three straight home wins.
1-1 away at Golden Arrows before that.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Mamelodi as they have a new game in only three days, a CAF Champions League match thankfully also at home. Galaxy are visiting.
The Mamelodi manager R. Mokwena has got the team scoring with 9 from 4 home games in the league. Mamelodi Sundowns are not conceding a lot of goals here at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 4 matches.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
Things could have gone better for Orlando Pirates in their Premier League away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
Orlando are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Sagrada Esperanca. Before that, Orlando secured a home win against Chippa United with the score 1-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Orlando are hosting Sagrada Esperanca in the CAF Confederations Cup only four days away.
Orlando have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Orlando Pirates have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
