Sekhukhune United vs Durban City Predictions

I’m backing a draw in this one. The hosts have lost their best striker and most creative winger. I’m backing a draw with Under 2.5 goals.

Key Stats – Draw Looks Certain

Sekhukhune United have seen Under 2.5 goals in 16 of their last 17 home matches.
Sekhukhune United have drawn 7 of their last 12 matches.
Durban City drawn 4 of their last 5 PSL matches.
Durban City are winless in 8 PSL matches.

Head to Head – Sekhukhune With One Win

These clubs have met on just two previous occasions.

Sekhukhune won 2-0 at home before a 1-1 draw in the return fixture in March 2026.

Just Two Wins in 14 – Babino Noko have Drawn Seven of Last 12 Matches

Sekhukhune’s last 14 fixtures across all competitions have yielded just two wins. They had a strong first half of last season and finished fifth despite a difficult second half of the season.

They lost 3-1 at Stellenbosch and could only draw 1-1 at home to Marumo Gallants. A 3-1 win at Chippa United saw 3.48 xG produced.

A 2-0 home defeat to Kaizer Chiefs was followed by two draws. A 1-1 stalemate at Richards Bay preceded a 2-2 home draw vs Siwelele on the final day of the season.

Durban City Form - Winless in Eight League Matches

Durban City ended last season on an eight-match winless run in the league. They won the Nedbank Cup and will play in this season’s CAF Confederations Cup.

After beating TS Galaxy 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final, they drew three league matches in a row. A 2-2 draw at Siwelele was followed by a 0-0 home draw against Stellenbosch.

A 0-0 draw at Orlando Pirates saw Durban City outshot 31-4. They lost 1-0 at home to AmaZulu to end off last season in eighth place in the PSL table.
