This could be an interesting match as Maritzburg United have their presumed home advantage while Kaizer Chiefs are ahead 17 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!
Maritzburg United form and stats
Maritzburg United have played 6 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Maritzburg United, their manager E. Tinkler and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 197 minutes.
The Maritzburg United crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Mamelodi Sundowns here at Harry Gwala Stadium in a League Cup match. Before that match, a Premier League win away at Polokwane City.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Maritzburg United here at Harry Gwala Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Maritzburg United's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Kaizer Chiefs form and stats
Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Kaizer Chiefs so far, with 6-0-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Premier League statistics. Having won their last three away games Kaizer Chiefs has no reason to fear anyone.
The supporters enjoyed Kaizer Chiefs's previous game versus Bloemfontein Celtic (placed 6th), a Premier League 5-3 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-0 at Stellenbosch.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Kaizer Chiefs, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention S. Nurkovic's lethal finishing against Bloemfontein Celtic. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
Kaizer Chiefs create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 15 goals in 6 travels. Kaizer Chiefs are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 3 goals away.
