Expert Betting Tips
The hosts have struggled to convert their chances lately, and their recent back-to-back wins were as the result of individual brilliance from Bradley Grobler. If Stellenbosch can shut out the striker, there is no way Supersport United could find the back of the net in this game. This game could end in a share of the spoils; however, I’m backing Stellenbosch to at least secure a point here since they are the better team.
Supersport United have been below par this season, and despite their recent wins, I can’t trust them against a well-drilled Stellenbosch team; bet on an away win in either half for 1.95.
This meeting has produced fewer than two goals in recent meetings, and we can't see more than two goals here.
I expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.85.
Good luck!
