SuperSport United vs Cape Town City Predictions & Tips - Draw expected between evenly matched teams

Both sides started the season excellently and looked like title challengers but their recent results have seen too many dropped points. SuperSport are struggling to win at home and Cape Town City can get something from this match. I am tipping a draw.

SuperSport United hold an 9-8 advantage against Cape Town City over their previous 24 matches with seven draws.

Their last meeting was in September 2020 as Cape Town City won 1-0 at home after a second half Kermit Erasmus goal.

After a ten match unbeaten run in the league, SuperSport United lost 2-1 away to Bloemfontein Celtic in their last match. That followed a 1-0 away loss in the Nedbank Cup to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.

Prior to that, SuperSport drew 0-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns, 1-1 at home to AmaZulu and won 2-0 at Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila in the Premier Soccer League.

A 1-1 home draw with Swallows preceded the Nedbank Cup defeat to TTM and the league loss at Celtic.

SuperSport United could again be without Onismor Bhasera at left back due to injury. Winger Kudakwashe Mahachi covered in that role for the last match and was exposed.

Teboho Mokoena remains absent in midfield and wingers Giuly Manziba and Iqraam Rayners are also on the treatment table with injuries.

Cape Town City looked like Premier Soccer League title challengers with 15 points from their first eight matches but their recent form has been very poor. Their last seven league matches have brought just two wins and two draws with three defeats.

After 2-1 home loss to Kaizer Chiefs, City responded well by winning 2-0 at Black Leopards and 4-2 at home to Golden Arrows. However, a 1-1 draw at Baroka followed that before a 4-0 home win in the Nedbank Cup against Bloemfontein Celtic.

In their last match, City lost 2-0 away to Orlando Pirates having trailed 2-0 after five minutes.

Coach Jan Olde Riekerink should be able to call on Abbubaker Mobara and Thami Mkhize in defence from the start for this match after both were eased back in after injuries. Edmilson Dove is still injured at left back.

Justin Shonga is pushing for a recall in attack but Tashreeq Morris should keep his place after a recent hattrick.
