Supersport United vs Cape Town City FC Prediction: The Spartans will add salt to the guests' injury

The Betway Premier League continues as Supersport United lock horns against a struggling Cape Town City FC side, hoping to secure their seventh win of the season at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday. Matsatsantsa, who head here without a win across their last five games, will be keen to return to winning ways. 

Supersport United FC (15th)

Last five matches: DWLDL

Gavin Hunt's side are struggling to keep up this season as they sit in the relegation spot on the log. Supersport United bowed to (3-1) loss on the road against TS Galaxy. Despite playing well and creating meaningful opportunities, Matsatsantsa failed to take their chances and were duly punished by the Rockets. This was coming after their toothless stalemate against AmaZulu FC at home. 

It’s now becoming a norm for the home side to concede, as they have managed to keep a clean sheet in ten consecutive matches. 

Gavin Hunt's men have picked up twenty-one points from a combined sixty-three, scoring twelve and letting in twenty-two goals.

Supersport United have been inconsistent at home, winning three of their last eleven home games. 

Cape Town City (13th)

Last five games: LLDDL

The Citizens have been shocking in recent games, marching here without a win in ten games. Unfortunately, the arrival of coach Mushin Ertugral hasn’t done them justice this season, and the Turkish no longer continues his job. Recently, they surrendered to a (0-1) loss at home against Marumo Gallants, making it their twelfth loss of the season. It was a painful and disappointing one as a team who were in the continental three years ago are now fighting to remain in the league. 

The Citizens always play well against top teams but struggle against teams below them. Following their recent woes, Cape Town City dropped to thirteenth place on the log. They have picked up twenty-three points from a combined sixty-nine, scoring thirteen and conceding twenty-seven. 

Cape Town City have won once, lost nine, and drawn twice on the road this season. 

Interesting Facts

Over their previous ten meetings, Cape Town City FC have won two, while Supersport United have recorded six victories and two games ending in a share of the spoils. 

Supersport United have scored first in five of their last seven meetings against the Citizens. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Spartans have been struggling lately, but they have at least shown character and enthusiasm, unlike Cape Town City, who have lost twelve times this season while heading here without a win in their last ten matches. 

Supersport United have been pretty decent lately, even though their performance didn’t match their results. No team has lost more games than Cape Town City this season, and without a coach, they’ll struggle against the hosts.

Cape Town City always play well against top teams, but we are unsure if they’ll be able to match the hosts' intensity; bet on home win for 2.04 at (Bet365).

Supersport United are not reliable, and why I’m confident they’ll win here is because of how bad the guests have been in recent games; bet on a home halftime win for 2.74 at (1xbet).

I also think both teams might likely get a goal apiece here for 2.12 at (Betway).

Good luck!
