3rd position in the Premier League table for SuperSport United so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed Bloemfontein Celtic visits Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
SuperSport United form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, SuperSport United, who have the most scored goals (22) at home in Premier League, have managed 6 wins, 5 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 12 games. SuperSport has recorded two wins in a row here at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Nothing to worry about in defence for SuperSport, as their goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has completely shut out the opponents for 210 minutes in the Premier League.
SuperSport enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Highlands Park's place. The match ended 2-0 with B. Grobler and M. Modiba scoring. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Bidvest Wits.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from SuperSport's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won two matches, drawn one and lost zero.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Polokwane City are coming to town in three days.
SuperSport have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium with 22 goals in 12 league matches. SuperSport are not conceding a lot of goals here at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 12 matches.
Bloemfontein Celtic form and stats
Bloemfontein Celtic have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-3-7 (12 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Bloemfontein in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Stellenbosch.
Two travels in a row for Bloemfontein, whose manager J. Maduka could celebrate last time after the Nedbank Cup win against Baroka. Before that, Bloemfontein travelled to TS Sporting (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Bloemfontein Celtic when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing four times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
A new game in only three days for Bloemfontein, the Premier League home match versus Kaizer Chiefs. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bloemfontein have scored 12 goals in 12 league games away. Bloemfontein's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Bloemfontein Celtic - SuperSport 1-1. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two SuperSport United victories, eight draws and zero Bloemfontein Celtic wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
