SuperSport United form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here as SuperSport United have scored 11 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 4-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). The home fans are hungry for more even though SuperSport have been steadily collecting points here through three straight draws.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
