Cape Town City vs Supersport United Prediction: The hosts will likely get the maximum points

On Wednesday, Cape Town City will face off against Supersport United at the DHL Stadium. The Citizens head here as one of the most in-form sides in the division despite their recent setback, while the Spartans have been underperforming lately.

Gavin Hunt's men have now drawn their last three games in all competitions. They settled for a (1-1) stalemate against Stellenbosch on their ground. They failed to bounce back from their disappointing result against Richards Bay on the road. Just after their tie against Cape Town City in the South African FA Cup, Supersports United settled for a share of the spoils against Future FC in the CAF Confederation Cup. 

The Spartans have been shaky at the back in recent games as they march here without a clean sheet in seventeen matches. Supersport United moved to the third spot on the log, picking up thirty points from a possible fifty-one. Supersport United have scored the second most goals this season but have conceded more than any team in the top half table. Supersport United have won four, drawn two, and lost three away from this season. 

Over their previous eighteen meetings, Cape Town City have won seven while Supersport United have won eight and five games ending in a tie. Cape Town City lost to Supersport United on penalties in the FA Cup, and they’ll be out to avenge the defeat. Cape Town City are a top side and have been pretty decent on their ground. At the same time, Supersport United have not lived up to their standard lately and have conceded a goal at least in their previous seventeen games in all competitions. Just goals separate both sides on the log, and the result here might determine who finishes in the second spot at the end of the game. Cape Town City will likely secure the maximum points as the visitors have been terrible lately; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.04.

This game should be able to produce more than two goals for 2.17.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece for 1.88.

Good luck!
