There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Premier League table so far. Here's the Maritzburg United - Golden Arrows latest:
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.
Maritzburg United form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Maritzburg United are 2-3-2 (wins-draw-losses).
The points were shared in Maritzburg United's previous game, also at home. Visiting Kaizer Chiefs (placed 1st) travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a League Cup defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns (1-2).
Maritzburg United have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 7 goals have been conceded.
Golden Arrows form and stats
Golden Arrows have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-4 (8 played). Recent form does not give Golden Arrows much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Maritzburg United will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Golden Arrows are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Golden Arrows aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 231 league minutes without a goal. K. Mutizwa was the last player to find the net.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Golden Arrows, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Highlands Park (placed 6th). A loss against Bidvest Wits was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Golden Arrows are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 3 goals from 8 away games. In the opposite end, Golden Arrows have conceded 12 goals in their away games.
