The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. TelOne are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 17th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
TelOne form and stats
The story so far in the Premier Soccer League for TelOne at their home stadium (Ascot Stadium) is 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Ascot Stadium.
The TelOne goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal.
TelOne are returning here after visiting Mushowani Stars in a Premier Soccer League game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Before that, TelOne had a home game versus Triangle United which ended with a victory 2-0.
The TelOne fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 16 matches. TelOne have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hwange form and stats
There's been little loot from Hwange's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 16 away games in the Premier Soccer League. Hwange only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 7 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Hwange have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 15 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Dynamos game.
Hwange play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Triangle United (placed 9th). A loss against Herentals was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hwange as they have only managed to score 12 times from 16 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Hwange have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
