Prediction published on 11/02/2024, 12:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier Soccer League Predictions

SuperSport United will resume their title quest when they play host to Sekhukhune United in the PSL on Tuesday. The two sides are on opposite ends in the league standings, SuperSport United third and their visitors 12th. For SuperSport, this is a chance to rise to second, if other results favor them. They are tied on 29 points with Cape Town United, who have a superior goal difference. Coming into this game, SuperSport will hope to enhance their goal scoring stats. An area they’ve excelled in is in attack, and they are the second best attacking side in the league thus far, with 22 goals. In their 16 matches in the league so far, SuperSport have failed to score in only four. They come into this one seeking to improve on their last outing before the league took a break. Matsatsantsa lost their last game of 2023, 3-1 away to Richards Bay. It was a tough one to take, having led from Ghampani Lungu’s 18th minute goal. SuperSport United would even end the first half with 10 men after Ime Okon’s red card in the 37th minute. Okon is suspended for this game but the hosts will be confident of delivering a fourth win in five matches.

These two sides have met five times in their PSL history, and the head-to-head records favor the visitors. Sekhukhune have three wins and just a loss in the five meetings between these two sides. They beat SuperSport United in each of their last two meetings and will be keen on a third. They however didn’t have the best of runs by the time the league was halted. Here, Sekhukhune United will be targeting a first win in five matches. They failed to score in three of their last four matches, and coming into this one, they’ll seek to build on their 1-1 draw with Kaizer Chiefs last time out. Elias Mokwana’s goal should have handed Sekhukhune their sixth win of the season but they conceded nine minutes to time, dropping two points. Just 18 points off 15 matches leave Sekhukhune five points above the relegation playoff zone so this is an important game. It is particularly key because they’ve dominated it previously, yet they come here without a win in seven straight away games. Sekhukhune have even failed to score in the last five away games, losing all.
