A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Forest Rangers fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Prison Leopards's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Prison Leopards have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Super League
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
The season is still full of potential for Forest as they can still win the whole Super League.

Prison Leopards form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Prison Leopards so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Prison Leopards has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
