One of the pivotal matches of the 18th round of the South African championship will take place on Friday in Pretoria, where SuperSport United will host Stellenbosch at the "Lucas Moripe Stadium". Here's the match prediction from Dailysports experts.
SuperSport United
Under the guidance of Gavin Hunt, the team holds the intermediary third position in the South African Premier League table. In 16 matches, the "fashionables" have accumulated 29 points, the same as the second-placed Cape Town City. However, the recent performances of the "goal scorers" before the extended break were not particularly promising. If this trend persists, maintaining their third position will prove challenging. In their last match, SuperSport United suffered a 1-3 defeat to Richards Bay away, marking their third loss in the last five Premier League rounds.
Stellenbosch
On the other hand, "Stellies" are precisely the main pursuers of SuperSport United. In 15 matches played, Stellenbosch has garnered 26 points, three points fewer than the "fashionables". However, the recent results of Steve Barker's team are noticeably superior to those of their opponents. In their last match, Stellenbosch secured a 3-2 victory over Orlando Pirates away. This win marked their fourth consecutive victory, and they have remained unbeaten since the end of September 2023. Additionally, Stellenbosch clinched the Carling Knockout Cup by defeating TS Galaxy in the final via a penalty shootout.
