The numbers. Police Xi score 0.5 and concede 0.6 a game over their last ten, with six clean sheets and six games without a goal. Police Xi average 12.2 shots (4.8 on target), 4.4 corners and 1.8 cards a game. Township Rollers score one and concede 1.6 a game in their last five away, with one clean sheet. Township Rollers average 14.0 shots (5.4 on target), 5.2 corners and 2.6 cards a game.
Head to head. In the last ten meetings Police Xi have won one, drawn three and lost six. Three of the ten went over 2.5 goals and both teams scored in two. In the last four, one was drawn and Township Rollers won three. The last time they met, on 25 Apr 2026, it finished Police Xi 0-2 Township Rollers.
Where it pulls both ways. Police Xi are the form side, but the meetings favour Township Rollers: in the last ten meetings, Police Xi won one, Township Rollers won six and three were drawn.
The read. No side to back. A tight game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to a tight game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 25%. Seven of the last ten meetings went under 2.5.
The bets. No bet yet: nothing I'd back is priced yet. Leave: Police Xi or Under 2.5 Goals (no result call); Township Rollers or Under 2.5 Goals (no result call); Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read). Predicted score: Police Xi 1-1 Township Rollers (14% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (a tight game).
