TS Galaxy form and stats

The visitors are W2-D5-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Traore was the last player to score for the away team. Galaxy haven't scored a league goal in the last 193 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. TS Galaxy goalkeeper Melusi Nkazimulo Buthelezi is eager to challenge this, with his 232 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

TS Galaxy's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Stellenbosch that finished 0-0.

A 0-0 draw at Royal AM's stadium before that.

Low on goals? 13 of this side's most recent 15 league rounds have seen two goals or less.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting TS Galaxy as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Galaxy as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
