Sekhukhune United vs TS Galaxy Prediction: The hosts will maintain their decent run on their home turf

Sekhukhune United will face off against TS Galaxy on Friday at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium. The hosts, who lost their nine unbeaten runs against Mamelodi Sundowns on the road, will be keen to bounce back against an organized visiting team.

Last five matches: DDDWL

Babina Noko's side succumbed to a (2-1) defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns second team. They conceded two early goals, contributing to their loss despite being the better team. The loss ended their nine games without a defeat in the league. Sekhukhune United have been extremely decent lately, occupying the fourth spot on the log. 

This is the first time since promotion in 2020 that Sekhukhune United recorded nine games without defeat in the league. They are now in contention to return to the continental tournament, as they are seven points behind Orlando Pirates in third place. Sekhukhune United have won six, lost three, and drawn four on their ground this season. 

Last five games: WWLWL

The Rockets suffered their ninth loss of the season as they were beaten hands down by the defending champions. TS Galaxy conceded three goals and failed to convert their penalty on the road against Mamelodi Sundowns. They have now lost two games in their last five games, which might affect their aim of playing continental football next season.

TS Galaxy are eyeing the continental spot on the log and are just two points from achieving that. TS Galaxy play one of the best football in the league and are 6th on the log with thirty-seven points from seventy-one. The Rockets will rely solely on their home record to at least end up in the top half of the table this season, as they hardly win on the road. 

Sekhukhune United have won once while TS Galaxy have managed three victories and two games ending in a tie over their previous six meetings. Sekhukhune United had a setback against Mamelodi Sundowns and must quickly adjust against TS Galaxy. They can’t afford to lose back-to-back games if they’re to appear in the continental tournament. At the same time, TS Galaxy will also be keen to shake off their recent loss against the Brazilians, but it’ll be tricky as they constantly struggle on the road. 

TS Galaxy have dominated this encounter over the years, but we think they’ll have a difficult match against the hosts. Sekhukhune United have won either half in eight consecutive games at home in the Premier League; bet on home win either half for 1.77.

We also expect both teams to get a goal here for 2.25.

Sekhukhune United to win or draw and score more than once will surface here for 2.11.

Good luck!
