Amazulu FC vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: The home team can’t afford to drop points here

On Wednesday, Amazulu FC will face off against Sekhukhune United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. The hosts, who have been in decent shape this campaign, have a stern test ahead of their clash against a new-look Sekhukhune United tomorrow.

Amazulu FC (12th)

Last five matches: LWLWD

Vusumuzi Vilakazi’s men settled for a share of the spoils against Golden Arrows on their home ground just after their (0-1) victory over Orlando Pirates on the road. Amazulu FC were wasteful as usual, creating five big chances without finding the back of the net. The most important thing is that they avoided defeat at home for the first time in six games against Golden Arrows. 

Vusumuzi Vilakazi’s men recently picked up their first stalemate of the season, dropping to twelfth place on the log. Since the league began, they have also secured thirteen points from a possible thirty-three.

Amazulu FC have won twice, drawn once and lost two games on their home turf this campaign. 

Sekhukhune United (4th)

Last five games: LLWWD

Babina Noko's team picked up a point against Polokwane City on the road, as they moved to fourth place on the log. The game that was played on a water log stadium impaired their gameplay and forced both teams to play in a different format. Both teams got a goal apiece at the break and none of them could find the back of the net in the second half. 

This was after Sekhukhune United now won back-to-back games in the league against Marumo Gallants and Cape Town City.  

Despite their recent run, coach Lehlohonolo Seema have not utilized the quality of his squad this season, as we think there is more to this team than what they are currently doing. They have picked up seventeen points from a possible thirty, scoring ten and conceding ten.

Sekhukhune United have drawn once and lost twice at home in this competition.

Expert Betting Tips

Amazulu FC were not good enough in front of goal against Golden Arrows, and for a side that created five big chances, it was devastating to have settled for a toothless stalemate. On the other hand, Sekhukhune United picked a point against a solid opponent on the road and are well well-motivated here.

Amazulu FC are my favorite pick here since they have a pretty decent record against their guests, and after their poor offensive display in recent home game, I expect them to put up a decent performance here.

AmaZulu FC are a great side but sometimes lack the confidence to kill off teams when they have the opportunity. It’s going to be a tough game against the guests, and I think both teams will score a goal apiece here for 2.26.

The hosts are the favorites here and might likely score before the break for 2.40.

Good luck!
