Cape Town City vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: Home team have a lot to offer

Both Sekhukhune United and Cape Town City suffered defeats in their most recent matches. Sekhukhune United was defeated by Moroka Swallows, while Cape Town City was defeated on the road by SuperSport United. 

After suffering a 1-0 defeat against SuperSport United in their most recent Premier Division match, Cape Town will be looking to get back on track today.

SuperSport United had a total of 18 shots on goal, but only six of them were on target. Their most recent results demonstrate, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Cape Town backline is capable of very little additional work. The number of goals that have been scored against Cape Town City in their net during the course of their most recent six league matches is just one.

Since Sekhukhune United's previous Premier League match was a loss at the hands of Moroka Swallows, both the home team and their fans who traveled with them will be hoping for a different outcome this time around. During that match, Sekhukhune United held 45% of the possession and had five shots on goal, with only one of those shots being on target. The only goal scored by a Sekhukhune United player was an own goal in the 94th minute by Badra Ali Sangaré. On the other hand, Moroka Swallows had a total of 13 shots on goal, of which only three were on target. The previous six matches that Sekhukhune United have participated in have resulted in a total of seven goals being scored by the team. Additionally, Sekhukhune United has scored in each and every one of those matches that they have participated in. During that time span, they have allowed six goals to be scored in their own net.

Cape Town City and Sekhukhune United have only played each other a total of four times, with Cape Town City winning two of those games and Sekhukhune United winning just one. One of the games was decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Cape Town City scored three goals, while Sekhukhune United was only able to score two.

We believe that Sekhukhune United may have trouble scoring against Cape Town City, who have a great defensive record and should be able to score at once and hold onto it. As a result, we anticipate a game that will be very close throughout, with Cape Town City emerging victorious by a score of 1-0 in the end.
