This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Tshakhuma holding 14th place and Stellenbosch lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Tshakhuma has the fewest scored goals (8) in Premier League
- Stellenbosch have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Tshakhuma form and stats
Tshakhuma's results here at Thohoyandou Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats. The Tshakhuma manager D. Kerr might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against SuperSport United.
This is expected to be a close game, with Tshakhuma perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Tshakhuma as a small favourite), we find seven games. Tshakhuma has won four of these, drawn three and lost zero.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tshakhuma here at Thohoyandou Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 7 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Tshakhuma defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Stellenbosch form and stats
Stellenbosch have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-3 (7 played).
It was a Nedbank Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Mamelodi Sundowns (after extra-time) wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Stellenbosch in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Stellenbosch, two draws and one defeat.
The attacking power of Stellenbosch when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Stellenbosch have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
