Stellenbosch are welcoming Bloemfontein Celtic for another important game after their 0-0 result against 16th-placed Black Leopards.
- Bloemfontein Celtic have the fewest points (4) away in Premier League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Bloemfontein Celtic have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Stellenbosch form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Stellenbosch have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Danie Craven Stadium. Stellenbosch are slowly digging their own grave here at Danie Craven Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Tshakhuma match.
Preceding that match was a defeat to AmaZulu (0-1).
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Maritzburg United are coming to town in three days.
The Stellenbosch fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Bloemfontein Celtic form and stats
There's been little loot from Bloemfontein Celtic's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 11 away games in the Premier League. Bloemfontein Celtic, who have the fewest points (4) away in Premier League, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Golden Arrows that ended 1-1.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bloemfontein manager J. Maduka as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Tshakhuma.
The attacking power of Bloemfontein when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bloemfontein have conceded 18 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
