A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Orlando Pirates fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Chippa United's 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Orlando Pirates has the most points from losing position (5) in Premier League
- Chippa United have yet to win a game away.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Mtn 8 Cup match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Bloemfontein Celtic.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
Orlando Pirates must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Premier League games here at Orlando Stadium.
2-2 away at Cape Town City before that.
Orlando are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Orlando's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Chippa United form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Chippa United with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Chippa have lost on their last two travels.
Chippa lost away at Baroka (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Tshakhuma.
Chippa has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against AmaZulu in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Chippa United when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. As for defending, Chippa United rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: nine - zero - one (Orlando wins - draws - Chippa United wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
