Struggling Tshakhuma will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Cape Town City in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Tshakhuma has the fewest scored goals (5) in Premier League
- Cape Town City has the most scored goals in the first half (13) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither Tshakhuma nor Cape Town City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Tshakhuma form and stats
1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Tshakhuma, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Premier League, have to build on here at Thohoyandou Stadium in the Premier League.
Tshakhuma lost their last game at Stellenbosch (placed 7th) after a 0-2 scoreline. 1-1 away at Black Leopards before that.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at T. Rakhale for missing a penalty kick versus Stellenbosch in the 18th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Tshakhuma, as the Premier League home game vs Orlando Pirates is only four days away.
Tshakhuma aren't scoring a lot here at Thohoyandou Stadium in the league, with only 3 goals from 4 games. Tshakhuma have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Cape Town City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Cape are travelling again after losing away to Moroka Swallows in their previous match (2-3). That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus TS Galaxy.
