Sagrada Esperança get ready to welcome Orlando Pirates for something different than the ordinary league football: The CAF Confederations Cup 1st Round leg 1 of 2.
Sagrada Esperança and Orlando Pirates should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Orlando Pirates have to travel 2800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Sagrada Esperança form and stats
When playing at home in the Girabola, Sagrada Esperança have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games. Sagrada Esperança has recorded two wins in a row here at Estádio Municipal dos Coqueiros, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Esperança are traveling soon after this match as the Girabola match at Academica do Lobito awaits in four days.
Esperança has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. From these home matches, Esperança have conceded only 8 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Orlando Pirates form and stats
Orlando Pirates are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Things are running smoothly for Orlando who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Cape Town City.
The supporters enjoyed Orlando Pirates's previous game versus Chippa United, a Premier League 1-0 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Bloemfontein Celtic at their stadium, the result 2-1.
Orlando find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Orlando Pirates have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
