Royal AM form and stats
30 points is a decent return from 14 Premier League games here at Chatsworth Stadium for Royal AM. The data says 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
Royal AM's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Mamelodi Sundowns (placed 1st). The penalty miss from Letsoalo in the defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
2-2 away at Golden Arrows before that.Royal AM are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 14 games. Royal have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 7 draws and 3 defeats.
Orlando Pirates are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the game against Maritzburg United (placed 12th).
The schedule is very tough for Orlando now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at SuperSport United is waiting in only three days.
The attacking power of Orlando Pirates when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
