Gavin Hunt's men's game style and mentality have changed since the season began; unlike the previous campaign, where they drew nine times, Supersport have settled for a tie just once in their last ten league games. The Spartans are back to where they belong on the log, having picked up twenty-two points from a possible thirty.

More recently, they walked away with the maximum points against a robust TS Galaxy side with ten men. The entertaining game, which witnessed five goals, was their second game, where they scored three times.

Supersport United have scored the second most goals this season as the partnership of Godspower and Grobler has been positive.

Supersport United have won three, lost once, and drew once on the road this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Supersport United have won ten while Polokwane have recorded four wins and six games ending in a draw. Supersport United's recent win against TS Galaxy was a confirmation of their hard work in training as they strive to improve their goal-scoring record in the league. On the other hand, Polokwane lost their recent game on their ground and will be out to return to winning ways. This fixture ended in a (1-4) away win for Polokwane the last time, and we think Supersport United won’t lose back-to-back against the guests; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.10.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 1.91.

This encounter won’t deprive us of entertainment, and we expect the visitors to strike first for 1.78.

Good luck!
