🏠Sekhukhune United: Form and Statistics

Sekhukhune United are coming off a league game against Magesi and they could only take a point at full time. In that encounter, Sekhukhune United needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, thanks to Chibuike Ohizu strike in the 78th minute. In the meantime, Sekhukhune United have now gone unbeaten in their last five league games, defeating Orlando Pirates, Polokwane City and Cape Town City in that run. However, their home records have been disappointing, losing two times in their last three games. With 45 points, this team sits third in the standings, scoring 36 goals and conceding 27 in 26 matches.

✈️ Kaizer Chiefs: Form and Statistics

Kaizer Chiefs are in a stage where they feel they have had a fulfilled season. Despite struggling week in week out in the league, this team has now picked up 30 points from 26 games, leaving them 9th in the standings with 24 goals scored and 31 conceded. In the meantime, their last six league games have ended without a win, losing to Richards Bay, Golden Arrows, Orlando Pirates and Marumo Gallants. 

Yet, Kaizer Chiefs most recent encounter was in the NEDBANK Cup final, and they defeated Orlando Pirates in a 2-1 contest. In that encounter, this team took the lead through a Gaston Sirino strike in the 10th minute but needed a Yusuf Maart strike to be crowned champions, coming in the 80th minute after Evidence Makgopa leveled for Pirates before the break. Ahead of this game, Kaizer Chiefs have one win, two losses and one draw in their last three league games.

🎯 Sekhukhune United vs Kaizer Chiefs Match Prediction 17 MAY 2025

Sekhukhune United have no excuse and they will come into this game with all full focus on securing maximum points. While they are the underdogs on paper, it is still difficult to write off the kind of season the Sekhukhune United are having and how important it is to win the last two games they have this season. On the other hand, while the Kaizer Chiefs have not had the best of their best league season, their performances in the NEDBANK Cup is commendable, and it is no brainer they won the competition which will be a momentum boost heading into this game. Yet, I feel Kaizer Chiefs are a different side in the league as they have not given the same level of competitiveness which Sekhukhune United will look to capitalize on. While the two teams have been solid in attack, scoring in each of their last three games to this, I feel this game will end with goals. Also, at home, Sekhukhune United have a chance to maintain their third spot as they dream of playing in the CAF Confederation Cup next season.
