Supersport United vs Stellenbosch Prediction: This encounter could probably end in favour of the guests

The Betway Premier League continues as Supersport United lock horns against a solid Stellenbosch side, hoping to secure their fifth win of the season at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday. Matsatsantsa, who have struggled to find the back of the net, have a tough test ahead of their clash against the Stellies. 

Supersport United FC (5th)

Last five matches: DDLWW

Gavin Hunt's side recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since December last year. The hosts who have been in a terrible run this campaign but revived themselves with two wins in their previous five matches. The wins ended their three consecutive matches without a breakthrough. Bradley Grobler have been saving the home team lately, scoring the only goal that won them all the points against Magesi and Richards Bay. 

Gavin Hunt's men have picked up fifteen points from a combined thirty-three, scoring four and letting in six goals.

Supersport United have been inconsistent on their ground, and only a win here can save them from their blushes. 

Stellenbosch (4th)

Last five games: DWDWL

The Stellies suffered their second defeat of the season as they were stunned by Mamelodi Sundowns on their home turf. Stellenbosch were lucky to have conceded just a goal as they allowed the Brazilians to create seven big chances. Stellenbosch have struggled lately but they never stopped playing as a team. Before then, they picked up a memorable win over Orlando Pirates away from home as Devin Titus' only goal was enough to secure his side the maximum points. The Stellies have picked up fifteen points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring nine and conceding five. 

Steven Baker's men have drawn twice and won two games on the road this season.

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!
