Sekhukhune United vs Diables Noirs Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points here

Sekhukhune United will hope to bounce back when they face off against Diables Noirs at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday. Both sides suffered a heavy defeat in their opening game; however, the home side stand a better chance here.

The hosts began their journey in this competition with a (2-0) defeat on the road to RSB Berkane. Even though they had their chances, they were totally outplayed by the North African side. Babina Noko's team have been below par since the start of the season, winning four of their last twelve games. Sekhukhune United have been inconsistent at home this season, but a win is inevitable here as they will rely on their home support for the maximum points.

Yaka dia Mama's side failed to impress on their ground as they were humiliated by Stade Malien. The visitors found the back of the net three times, while Diables Noirs were able to respond once. Diables Noirs head here for the first time in their history, and it’s evident they lack the experience.

Diables Noirs were not really bad in their opening game but failed to convert their chances. They had more of the ball and created four big chances; however it was their visitors who scored three times. On the other hand, Sekhukhune United were below par against RSB Berkane which is very expected because they played on the road. We expect the home side to dominate and get a win here for 1.78.

The home side might even secure a halftime win for 2.37.

Sekhukhune United are expected to win and score more than once for 2.10.

Good luck!
