Supersport United vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

Supersport United will face off against Sekhukhune United at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Tuesday, hoping to get their first back-to-back wins in the Premier League in 2024. The Spartans, who head here with a victory over struggling Royal AM away from home, would love to get another victory against an unbeaten Sekhukhune United. 

Last five games: LDLLW

The Spartans march here with their first win in over four months in the league, as they defeated Royal AM away from home. It was a rare victory after six games without a win in all competitions. Bradley Grobler came from the bench to score the only goal that earned them the maximum points. 

Despite the victory, Gavin Hunt's men maintained their spot on the log. The Spartans have been shaky at the back in recent games as they march here with a clean sheet in twenty-six matches in all competitions. Supersport United have picked up thirty-eight points from a possible eighty-four, scoring thirty-one and conceding thirty-one times. Supersport United have won five, drawn three, and lost four at home this season. 

Last five matches: DDDWL

Babina Noko's side succumbed to a share of the spoils against TS Galaxy as they failed to bounce back after their defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns on the road. Sekhukhune, who lost to a (2-1) defeat against Mamelodi Sundown's second team, were unable to close the gap in their race to return to the continental tournament. 

Sekhukhune United have been extremely decent lately, occupying the fourth spot on the log. They are now in contention to return to the continental tournament, as they are six points behind Orlando Pirates in fourteen place. Sekhukhune United have won five, lost three, and drawn five away from home this season. 

Over their previous five meetings, Supersport United have won once, while Sekhukhune United have won three and a game ending in a tie. Sekhukhune United have not won their last two games and can’t afford to lose here. They’ve been playing pretty well in recent games, and considering the fact that Supersport United have been extremely poor, we expect a more aggressive approach from them here. The visitors have won back-to-back against the Spartans, but it’ll take a lot to walk away with the maximum points. The hosts have won just once in the league in 2024 and would love to close the gap with the continental spot on the log. We expect an open game here, with both teams getting a goal apiece for 2.25.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.85.

It’s going to be a tough contest, and we expect both teams to settle for a share of the spoils here for 3.04.

Good luck!
