Maritzburg United vs Casric Stars Predictions


Maritzburg ended the league season in improved form even with a leaky defence. Casric Stars have seen a dip in their results and performances. I am tipping a home victory with both sides on target.

Head to Head


This is the first ever meeting between these teams. 

Maritzburg United Form & Team News


Maritzburg finished 15th in the PSL table. They took five points from their final three matches to escape automatic relegation. 

A late goal saw a 1-0 loss away at relegation rivals Swallows. A damaging 2-2 home draw with Marumo Gallants followed as they conceded in the 92nd minute.

A 1-0 home win against Stellenbosch gave some hope. They went to a second-string Mamelodi Sundowns in their final league match and drew 1-1.

Maritzburg have no suspensions for this match. Winger Jose Ali Meza scored against Sundowns from the bench and could be rewarded with a start. 

It could be an otherwise unchanged XI. Goalkeeper King Ndlovu has a knock so Renaldo Leaner will play in goal.

Maritzburg United Predicted Lineup


Leaner; Theron, De Goede, Makume, Cross; Meza, Graham, Palace, Human; Karim, Soukouna.

Casric Stars Form & Team News


Casric Stars had hit a slump at the wrong time. Three successive draws cost them automatic promotion and they lost their opening playoff match. 

A 1-1 draw at Pretoria Callies saw them go top of the table. However, a 1-1 home draw against Venda FC and a 2-2 draw at All Stars FC saw them drop to third on the final day.

On Sunday, they lost 1-0 at home to Cape Town Spurs. A 67th minute goal proved the difference in a cagey affair.

Coach Bucs Mthombeni has no suspensions, but forward Keletso Sifama is out injured.

Given Thibedi could be set for a recall in midfield. He would partner the vastly experienced Mumuni Abubakar.

Casric Stars Predicted Lineup


Baloyi; Mnisi, Mtshweni, Gum, Rammala; Thibedi, Abubakar, Thloloe; Mosadi, Mabote, Rakwena.

Verdict


The odds for this match are yet to be released. I will be backing Maritzburg United to win and BTTS Yes.
