Season ticket holders at National Sports Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Herentals languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Harare City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Herentals and Harare City.
Herentals form and stats
Herentals have played 14 Premier Soccer League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-7-4 (wins-draws-losses).
The home team returns to National Sports Stadium after sharing the points with CAPS United (placed 1st) on their last time out; the Premier Soccer League game ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Herentals won a home game hosting Black Rhinos (3-0).
Herentals are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 14 attempts. On the other hand, Herentals have conceded 14 goals.
Harare City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Harare City so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-8 (win-draw-lose).
Harare City won their last game, 2-0 versus Chicken Inn played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Hwange at their stadium, the result 1-0.
The attacking power of Harare City when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Harare City have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Harare City - Herentals 1-2. Last three meetings between the teams: Herentals won 1, Harare City won 0 and 2 draws. 1 game with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.Herentals missing players
