Royal AM vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: Which side will get the win here?

At Harry Gwala Stadium, teams representing Royal AM and Sekhukhune United will compete against one another in the seventh round of the South Africa Premier League. The host club had just recently played Kaizer Chiefs to a tie, but the away team, Sekhukhune United, had just recently won the CAF Confederation Cup against St. Eloi Lupopo.

Royal AM enter this match having just come off a tie against Kaizer Chiefs in the Premier Division, which ended with a score of 0-0. During that match, Royal AM held 41% of the possession and had 11 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the target. On the other hand, Kaizer Chiefs had 18 shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target. The previous six matches that Royal AM have participated in have resulted in a total of seven goals being scored, which results in an average of 1.17 goals being scored per contest. As a result of their eight points earned from their first six matches, Royal AM have moved up to the eighth slot in the South Africa Premier League.

In this match, Sekhukhune United will be hoping for a triumph that is comparable to the one they had over St. Eloi Lupopo in the CAF Confederation Cup in a match that ended 3-1. In that particular game, the goals scored by Chibuike Ohizu, Jamie Webber, and Tresor Yamba were sufficient to give them the victory. Jonathan Mokonzi scored the lone goal for their rival team in the 13th minute of play. However, this was not enough for them to win. In their previous five matches leading up to this one, Sekhukhune United have not suffered a single loss, as they have only failed to win one, which occurred against Richards Bay in a match that ended 1-1 in the South Africa Premier League.

In the most recent league matchup between these two teams, which took place on match day 18 of the South Africa Premier League on March 4, 2023, Royal AM defeated Sekhukhune United by a score of 2-0. On that particular day, Royal AM held 53 percent of the possession and had 8 shots on goal, with 5 of them finding their mark. Thabo Matlaba and Ruzaigh Gamildien are the ones that got their names down on the scorecard. Thabo's goal came in the 45th minute, and Ruzaigh's in the 80th. The opposition, Sekhukhune United, had a total of 12 shots on goal, with only three of them actually hitting the target.

It is anticipated that both teams will bring a high level of play to this encounter, which should result in a contest that is intensely competitive. In the meantime, Royal AM have already won three consecutive matches against Sekhukhune United, which will be a major cause for concern for the away team. As a result of the high level of intensity and attacking play that is anticipated from both teams in this match, I anticipate a number of goals, with each team anticipated to have at least one goal on the scoresheet. In addition, because the away team is currently performing at a high level, I do not believe that they will suffer a defeat in this match, despite the fact that the home team has a longer winning streak; yet, a draw appears to be a distinct possibility.
