Golden Arrows vs Supersport United Prediction: This encounter won’t deprive us of goals

On Wednesday, Golden Arrows will face off against Supersport United at the Mpumalanga Stadium. The Spartans have been below par lately, and a defeat here could halt their dream of returning to continental football. At the same time, the hosts will be looking to sustain their two consecutive victories.

Since the arrival of Steve Komphela, Golden Arrows have won twice, scoring three and conceding once. The hosts head here with a (2-1) victory over Richards Bay just after their (1-0) win on the road against Polokwane City. After eleven consecutive losses in the league, Golden Arrows assumes the 8th spot on the log. After starting the league on a high and spending much of their time in the top three on the log, the hosts have now won just twice in their last eleven games. 

Golden Arrows have lost five, won two, and drawn three games on their ground this season.

With five games without a breakthrough, the Spartans came from a goal down to share the spoils against Mamelodi Sundowns. It was another rather defensive display from Supersports United, who were prepared to counterattack their possession-grabbing opponent. Gavin Hunt's men dropped to 5th place on the log following their recent run in the division. The Spartans have been shaky at the back in recent games as they march here without a clean sheet in twenty-one matches in all competitions. Supersport United have picked up thirty-three points from a possible sixty, scoring twenty-six and conceding fourteen times. Supersport United have won four, drawn four, and lost three on the road this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Golden Arrows have been the more dominant side in this fixture with ten wins, while Supersport United have won seven and three games ending in a tie. Golden Arrows have already won the reverse leg, scoring three times on the road without a response from the Spartans. The hosts have a quality coach in Steve Komphela, who have now won back-to-back games for his side. On the opposing end, Supersport United have been struggling lately and are without a win in five games. There’s no indication they’ll win this game, but we can actually expect a BTTS here for 2.05.

This fixture has produced more than two goals in their last six meetings, and we expect the same for 2.46.

The hosts might actually win either half for 2.07.

Good luck!
