Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, TS Galaxy in 8th and Cape Town City in 7th place.
- TS Galaxy haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- Cape Town City have the most scored goals (39) 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Cape Town City have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Cape are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
TS Galaxy form and stats
TS Galaxy have collected 14 points from their Premier League home games so far after 4-2-5. The Galaxy manager O. Da Gama might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting AmaZulu (1-2).
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Galaxy here at Mbombela Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 11 games). TS Galaxy have conceded 14 in these home matches.
Cape Town City form and stats
Playing away, Cape Town City, who have the most scored goals (39) in Premier League, have won 4 games, drawn 5 and suffered 3 defeats in the Premier League this season.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Tshakhuma.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against AmaZulu was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visiting Cape have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 12 games. Cape Town City have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Cape Town City - Galaxy 3-2 played earlier this season.Top Goalscorers
