Sekhukhune United are predicted to secure a home win against Marumo Gallants, who are on a 17-match winless streak with 15 defeats in their last 25 games. Although Sekhukhune have only one win in eight matches, they have recently improved and hold a slight head-to-head advantage. Team news indicates Sekhukhune could have key players back from injury, while Gallants face a suspension in midfield. The match is expected to see under 2.5 goals, reflecting both teams' recent scoring difficulties.

Sekhukhune United vs Marumo Gallants Predictions


Marumo are struggling right now and they are not creating chances. I see Sekhukhune winning this match at home.

Key Stats – Home Victory Tipped


  • Sekhukhune United have won 2 of their last 4 matches vs Marumo Gallants.
  • Sekhukhune United have seen Under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
  • Marumo Gallants have lost 15 of their last 25 matches. 
  • Marumo Gallants are winless in 17 matches.

Head to Head – Sekhukhune Edge It


Sekhukhune hold a 3-2 advantage across seven previous clashes with three draws.

The clubs played out a 1-1 draw when they last met in April 2026.

One Win in Eight – Sekhukhune In Poor Form


Sekhukhune sit seventh in the PSL with 11 points from seven rounds of action. They’re unbeaten since firing coach Cedric Kaze. 

A 3-0 loss away to Orlando Pirates in the MTN 8 semi-final second leg made it three straight losses to Pirates in eight days. A 0-0 home draw vs TS Galaxy followed. 

A 1-1 draw at Stellenbosch saw Sekhukhune concede an 87-minute equaliser to drop two points. Their last match saw a 3-2 win at Richards Bay as they were outshot 16-9.

Winless in 16 – Gallants With 15 Defeats in Their Last 25 Matches


Marumo Gallants have lost 15 of their last 25 matches.  They’re on a 17-match winless run going back to March.

After eight straight draws, they lost three matches in a row. A 3-2 home defeat to TS Galaxy was followed by a 2-2 home draw vs Polokwane City.

Gallants were beaten 1-0 at AmaZulu with just one shot on target. Their last match brought a 2-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates as they produced no shots on target in a toothless display.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Sekhukhune United (4-2-3-1): Buthelezi; Mashiloane, Ndlovu, Matsimbi, Letlapa; Mkhize, Khupe; Mokhoane, Rammala, Mojela; Ohizu.

Babina Noko hope to have left back Vuyo Letlapa back from injury. 

Winger Ngoanamelo Rammala and centre back King Ndlovu should both be available after knocks.  

Marumo Gallants (4-2-3-1): Lako; Lukhele, Rikhotso, Sikakane, Ntiya-Ntiya; Ndlondlo, Mbhele; Msendami, Mariko, Kunene; Etemesi.

Edgar Manaka is suspended in midfield for this match. Abdoulaye Mariko could make his debut in the engine room.

Daniel Msendami was ineligible for the last game. He could start down the wing with Katlego Otladisa not a favourite of the new coach.

Verdict

I see Sekhukhune winning this match, with Under 2.5 goals in the fixture.
