CAPS United form and stats

CAPS United, who have the most scored goals (45) in Premier Soccer League, are steadily winning Premier Soccer League games and points here at National Sports Stadium. 9 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats is the summary from 13 games. CAPS United has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at National Sports Stadium. We remember; it was Ngezi Platinum.

The fans are hoping that CAPS United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier Soccer League game against Chicken Inn (placed 3rd). Ahead of that match, CAPS United won a home game hosting Hwange (3-1).

The CAPS United manager L. Chitembwe has got the team scoring with 27 from 13 home games in the league. CAPS United's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

There's been little loot from Herentals's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the Premier Soccer League. Herentals only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 7 draws. Visiting Herentals has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

The supporters enjoyed Herentals's previous game versus Black Rhinos (placed 5th), a Premier Soccer League 3-0 win played at home. Before that, Herentals travelled to Chapungu United and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Herentals delivered their win in the match against Black Rhinos already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the three points. Solid performance!

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Herentals have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
