Baroka form and stats

There's been little loot from Baroka's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 10 away games in the Premier League. Baroka only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Baroka have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Kaizer Chiefs game.

Baroka aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 180 league minutes without a goal. Mbulu was the last player to find the net.

Baroka might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Kaizer Chiefs proved too strong as Baroka slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

Prior to that match, the Baroka manager Thobejane faced defeat when travelling to Sekhukhune United and losing 0-4.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Baroka playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Baroka wins, six draws and six defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Baroka are hosting TS Galaxy in the Premier League only three days away.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Baroka have conceded 18 goals in these games.
