TS Galaxy form and stats

TS Galaxy have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on TS Galaxy to get some points in this home game.

The Galaxy crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Sekhukhune United here at Mbombela Stadium in a Premier League match.

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-4 away at Real Kings.

The manager S. Ramovic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Maritzburg United in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for TS Galaxy here at Mbombela Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). TS Galaxy's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

AmaZulu form and stats

The Premier League season is young and AmaZulu have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

AmaZulu delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against TP Mazembe in their previous match; a CAF Champions League game.

A draw for AmaZulu before that, at their own venue hosting Kaizer Chiefs (1-1).

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the AmaZulu manager B. McCarthy as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against TP Mazembe.

AmaZulu have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Galaxy one win, zero draws and AmaZulu one victory. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
