Supersport United vs Royal AM Prediction: This fixture won’t deprive us of goals

The Betway Premier League continues as Supersport United lock horns with Royal AM at the TUT Stadium on Saturday. Matsatsantsa, who were not entirely bad against Mamelodi Sundowns, will be keen to secure their three points. 

Gavin Hunt's side began their league journey with a (2-0) defeat against the defending champions. After a quiet halftime with no signs of a goal, the hosts changed the gear and scored two quick goals to stun their opponent. 

Supersport United wrapped up their campaign in 7th spot, losing eight games. Supersport United were one point away from returning to the continental championship but were denied the place following their stalemate against Orlando Pirates.

They have strengthened their squad but still lack that bite in front of goal. 

The guests head here with a (1-1) stalemate against Cape Town City after starting the game poorly and conceding in the 8th minute. Royal AM grew into the game and were rewarded with a goal before the final whistle. 

The visitors, who escaped relegation last season but just a point, have failed to make any signings for the second year running. Royal AM, who still owes Samir Nurkovic R12 million have been banned by FIFA and will continue with the same players as last season.

Royal AM are unbeaten over their last three games in the league. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Royal AM have won six, while Supersport United have recorded six victories and eight games ending in a share of the spoils. Supersport United played more defensively in their opening match of the season, starting five at the back. They will play attacking tactics against a Royal AM who did an excellent job in their stalemate at home to Cape Town City. 

Supersport United will be hopeful of winning their first home game of the season, and we think they’ll do well here.

We expect the hosts to get a goal before the break for 1.72.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.06.

Good luck!
