It's graduation season, but Pretoria University fans have little to celebrate right now

"24/37 at Bidvest Stadium have stayed Under 2.5 Goals"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.728/11 in Bidvest Wits v Pretoria University

Never in doubt.

Well, just for a moment it looked like Over 2.5 Goals might not be a loser in Luhansk, as Zorya took the leader before half time. But then? Nothing. Nothing at all.

1-0 to the home side. 0-1 to us for the week.

We're riding out the backlash in South Africa, where the Premier League season is recently begun. Bidvest Wits are hosting Pretoria University in one of this evening's matches.

The Wits have amused nobody by producing just three goals (for and against) in their last six league games across the end of last term and the beginning of this one. Over a much longer period, 24/37 at Bidvest Stadium have stayed Under 2.5 Goals.

Tonight we find out just how clever the Clever Boys are. Pretoria University are in town and this is a set of students who do not mess around: 20 of their most recent 26 away matches have finished with two goals or fewer.

School's out for the summer, but the fun isn't starting just yet.
