Sekhukhune United vs Cape Town Spurs prediction and betting tips on April 20, 2024
One of the matches of the 25th round of the South African Premier League will take place on Saturday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium, where the local Sekhukhune United will play against Cape Town Spurs. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Sekhukhune United
The "Porcupines" had a disappointing campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup, earning only six points in six matches during the group stage. Now the team has shifted its focus entirely to the league, where they have significantly improved their position. After 23 matches, Sekhukhune occupies the fourth position in the league table, with 36 points behind them.
Chasing the leader, Mamelodi Sundowns, is clearly beyond the reach of the "Porcupines," as there is a 17-point gap. Their main goal now is to secure the second or third position. Essentially, Sekhukhune United could already be in one of these positions if they hadn't dropped points in each match. In particular, in their last encounter, the "Porcupines" played a draw at home against Stellenbosch, scoring the equalizing goal in the 86th minute. This draw was their third in a row, but Sekhukhune United remains undefeated in nine Premier League matches.
Cape Town Spurs
The "Urban Warriors" have failed to showcase their best qualities and have essentially struggled in the current South African Premier League campaign. Their chances of remaining in the elite division are purely theoretical at this point. Currently, Cape Town Spurs sit at the bottom of the league table, trailing the team above the safety zone by 14 points.
With only 12 points from 23 matches and three victories out of 17 defeats, the "Urban Warriors" have had a tough season. In the last round, Cape Town Spurs hosted the league leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns. The "Urban Warriors" put up a fight against the favorites but ultimately lost with a narrow score of 0-1, conceding the only goal from the penalty spot at the end of the first half.
