Royal AM vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: We anticipate a cagey affair between both teams

Royal AM will strive to secure their first win of the season when they face off against Sekhukhune United at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have been impressive this season despite not being able to sign players, but they must be careful against a dangerous opponent here tomorrow. 

Royal AM

Last five games: DDDDL

John Maduka's men have been able to prove their doubters wrong this season with four stalemates and a defeat. Following their share of the spoils against Magesi on the road, they were totally outplayed by champions Mamelodi Sundowns. They played their game plan well, but their opponents were too good. 

The hosts, who escaped relegation last season by 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 have picked up four points from a combined fifteen, scoring twice and conceding three this season.

They have gone three games without defeat on their ground since the start of the season. 

Sekhukhune United

Last three games: WDW

Babina Noko's team are unbeaten this season, winning twice and sharing the spoils once. They have had a great start to this campaign; however, all their games have been on their home turf. More recently, Sekhukhune United were knocked out of the Carling Cup just after their comfortable (2-0) victory over Golden Arrows. 

They have picked up seven points from a possible nine, scoring four and conceding once.

Sekhukhune United are the third-best away team in the league and have lost just once in seven games on the road. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous seven meetings, Royal AM have won three, while Sekhukhune United have recorded four victories. Royal AM have shown some signs of improvement in their last game against the champions. Despite losing the game, they never stopped trying, and they could have at least secured a point. 

Sekhukhune United will play their first game on the road, and they’ve been one of the best when they’re not playing at home. We think they’ll take the game to the hosts, but we expect a cagey affair here; bet on a total under 1.5 goals here for 2.27.

We anticipate a share of the spoils at the break for 1.90.

We don’t think a winner will emerge here as both teams will avoid conceding first; bet on a full-time draw for 3.00.

Good luck!
