Supersport United vs Polokwane City Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to lose on their ground

Supersport United will face off against Polokwane City at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday, hoping to get their first victory in the Premier League in 2024. The Spartans have not kept a clean sheet in their previous twenty-six games, but we expect a strong response from them here. 

Supersport United (6th)

Last five games: DDDDL

The Spartans suffered their first defeat in six games in what seemed to have been a terrible run lately. The distasteful performance on their ground ended their five consecutive stalemates. TS Galaxy, who rarely win on the road, get the better of Supersport United, scoring once to cart away the maximum points. 

Gavin Hunt's men dropped to 6th place on the log following their recent run in the division. The Spartans have been shaky at the back in recent games as they march here without a clean sheet in twenty-five matches in all competitions. Supersport United have picked up thirty-four points from a possible sixty-six, scoring twenty-eight and conceding twenty-six times. Supersport United have won five, drawn twice, and lost three at home this season. 

Polokwane City (11th)

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous twenty games, Supersport United have won nine while Polokwane have won four and seven games ending in a tie. Supersport United have been extremely poor lately, and they are currently out of the race for the continental spot. Their defence has been breached in their last twenty-five games as they march here after their (4-0) defeat against Stellenbosch on the road. On the other hand, Polokwane City have been inconsistent in recent matches, heading here with a heavy defeat on the road against Royal AM. 

The Spartans can’t afford to lose this game, and we think they’ll bounce back against the visitors; bet on a home win for 1.85.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 2.16.

Supersport United will win and score more than a goal here for 2.42.
