SuperSport United form and stats

SuperSport United must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Premier League games here at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

The SuperSport coach Hunt and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Gaborone United in the CAF Confederations Cup.

Ahead of that match, SuperSport United lost 0-3 at home to Golden Arrows.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how SuperSport have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 6 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the SuperSport United at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 3 matches.

Kaizer Chiefs form and stats

Things could have gone better for Kaizer Chiefs in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

The Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 311 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Kaizer Chiefs's last game was the home draw against Royal AM (0-0). Midfield player Maart was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.64/10. Maart hit three key passes and had 68 successful passes (of 78 total).

Preceding that, 1-1 at home against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Mtn 8 Cup. We have checked recent matches where Kaizer have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Kaizer Chiefs have another match that requires travelling in just three days, a Mtn 8 Cup game against Mamelodi Sundowns. A rough fixture list for the visiting team!

It's early days yet, but Kaizer Chiefs has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (3 games).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four SuperSport United victories, three draws and three Kaizer Chiefs wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
