SuperSport United vs Cape Town City Predictions

The hosts are something of a bogey side for Cape Town City. SuperSport have been great in home league matches for more than a year. I am backing a home win in this one.

SuperSport won both meetings last season including 2-0 at home in February.

SuperSport United Form & Team News

SuperSport finished second last season thanks to winning 10 and drawing five of their 15 home matches. They have begun this season with one win, one draw and one loss in all competitions.

This season started with a 2-0 home win vs Richards Bay as both goals came in the second half. A 0-0 draw at AmaZulu followed despite playing 50+ minutes against ten men.

Over the weekend, SuperSport lost 1-0 at home to Stellenbosch in the MTN8 quarter-finals. They conceded in injury time in that defeat.

Coach Gavin Hunt remains without injured striker Bradley Grobler. Experienced defender Siyanda Xulu could replace youngster Ime Okon at centre back.

New signing Lyle Lakay could start on the left. Young winger Shandre Campbell could be given a breather.

SuperSport United Predicted Lineup

Goss; Johannes, Hlatshwayo, Xulu, Pfumbidazi; Lungu, Ndlovu, Margeman, Lakay; Dzvuakamanja, Ighodaro.

Cape Town City Form & Team News

City won six and drew four of their final 11 PSL matches last season. Those 22 points shot them up to a fourth place finish.

This term kicked off with a strong 1-0 home win against Polokwane City thanks to a 92nd minute winner. A 1-0 win at Moroka Swallows followed as they had just 34% possession in the second half.

On Sunday, City lost 2-1 at home to Kaizer Chiefs in the MTN8 Cup. They conceded in the 94th minute after an end-to-end affair.

Coach Eric Tinkler could recall Taariq Fielies in defence. Newly signed striker Thabiso Kutumela could feature from the bench.

The usual 3-4-3 shape should be retained for this match. Another option is to move to a 4-3-3.

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup

Keet; Cupido, Fielies, Van Heerden; Mkhize, Ambina, Mokeke, Rhodes; Gonzalez, Zapata; Mayo.

Verdict

SuperSport United v Cape Town City

Due to their recent record vs City, I see SuperSport winning this match. They tend to score goals at home so I am backing Over 1.5 team goals from the hosts.
