It's still early in the Premier League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Tshakhuma - Baroka preview!
Tshakhuma form and stats
Tshakhuma are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two Premier League games here at Thohoyandou Stadium.
M. Ngele was the last player to score a league goal for Tshakhuma and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Tshakhuma haven't scored in 216 minutes.
Tshakhuma's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Moroka Swallows (placed 3rd). Before that, Tshakhuma played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Mamelodi Sundowns.
Tshakhuma has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Baroka form and stats
Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Baroka and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 3 draws and 8 losses from 15 travels.
There were no winners in Baroka's previous match, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 vs Golden Arrows (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Black Leopards with the score of 3-1.
It's early days yet, but Baroka has scored 3 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
