Al Ahli Benghazi form and stats
Al Ahli Benghazi was eliminated in the play-offs last season in the CAF Confederations Cup. NA Hussein Dey was too strong.As mentioned below, Al Ahli Benghazi are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games. On the other hand, in the CAF Confederations Cup, Al Ahli Benghazi has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. In general it's been a long time since Benghazi tasted defeat here at First Statement Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last 26 home games in the league. Benghazi haven’t lost a league-game in 15 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Al-Ittihad, 1060 days ago.
At First Statement Stadium, Al Ahli Benghazi has the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. When we have look at the CAF Confederations Cup statistics, we find 4W-1D-0L. This is both home and away.
Orlando Pirates lost away at Kaizer Chiefs (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Orlando secured a home win against Enyimba with the score 2-1.
After this away game Orlando return home for a Premier League game against Maritzburg United. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Orlando Pirates have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Orlando Pirates as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.
