Orbit College's form suggests a struggle, with six losses in their last seven matches.

Sekhukhune are finding form again whilst Orbit are losing games for fun. I see a home win to zero with the hosts also winning on the -1 handicap.

Key Stats – This Looks Like a Home Banker

Sekhukhune United have won their last 2 matches to zero.
Sekhukhune United have seen BTTS No in their last 6 matches.
Orbit College have lost 6 of their last 7 matches (17 goals conceded).
Orbit College have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head – Sekhukhune United Won Only Previous Clash

These clubs have met on just one occasion.

Sekhukhune United won 3-0 in the reverse fixture back in August.

Two Wins in a Row – Sekhukhune Can Go Level with Sundowns

Sekhukhune have won successive matches, having been on a run of just one win in 10 matches. A win in this match will take them level second in the table, despite having played three extra matches.

They eked out a 1-0 win at Magesi before the AFCON break to end a six-match winless streak. A 1-0 home loss to Stellenbosch and a resolute 0-0 home draw vs Orlando Pirates followed.

Babina Noko won 1-0 at TS Galaxy despite being outshot 22-5 and allowing four big chances. Last weekend, they won 1-0 at lower league Highbury in the Nedbank Cup.

Orbit Heading for Relegation – Six Losses in Last Seven

Orbit College have taken one point from their level six league matches. They sit 15th in the PSL table with 14 points in 17 matches and look likely to be relegated.

After winning successive league games at the end of October, five straight losses followed. A damaging 1-0 home loss to Chippa United preceded a 2-2 draw away at Polokwane City.

In the Nedbank Cup, they faced an all-PSL tie. A 3-0 thumping at the hands of Golden Arrows showed the lack of confidence in Orbit’s ranks right now.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Sekhukhune United (4-3-3): Leaner; Mashiloane, Cardoso, Ndlovu, Letlapa; Monare, Mkhize, Khiba; Mncube, Mojela, Makgalwa.

Right back Tsepo Matsimbi is injured. Key striker Bradley Grobler is suspended so Lehlohonolo Mojela will play up front.

Linda Mntambi is absent in central midfield. Coach Eric Tinkler could use three solid players in the engine room instead of a number ten.

Orbit College (4-2-3-1): Nkomo; Vilakazi, Mphahlele, Nhlapo, Jingana; Motshwari, Batsi; Moleleki, Ralani, Koapeng; Wagaba.

Coach Pogiso Makhoye saw his best player leave in January. Monnapule Saleng’s loan was cut short as his parent club sold him permanently.

Letsie Koapeng and Bradley Ralani were signed as free agents to add some creativity in attack. Mbulelo Wagaba is fit to return to the XI up front and he will carry the goal burden.

Verdict

Sekhukhune United v Orbit College

I'm backing a home win with a clean sheet. I'm tipping a win on the -1 handicap.
