TTM vs Maritzburg United Predictions
TTM have improved of late but many of their good results have come in the Nedbank Cup. Maritzburg have been playing well for many months and will be delighted to take a draw from this match. I am tipping them to leave with a point in a low scoring clash.
- TTM have won 3 of their last 10 matches (lost six)(Premier Soccer League).
- TTM have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 7 matches (all competitions).
- Maritzburg United have drawn 2 of their last 5 matches (Premier Soccer League).
- Maritzburg United have seen under 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches (Premier Soccer League).
Head to Head
Maritzburg United hold a 2-1 advantage across their previous three meetings with TTM with no draws.
When the sides met in February, TTM won 1-0 away at Maritzburg.
TTM Form
TTM’s defeat in their last match saw the team drop into the relegation zone on goal difference. They won the Nedbank Cup on Saturday and have improved under coach Dylan Kerr with three wins in their last PSL matches.
After losing 3-0 at Cape Town City with ten men, TTM beat Bloemfontein Celtic 1-0 before a shock 2-1 loss to Black Leopards. A last gasp 2-1 win against Kaizer Chiefs followed before they beat Chippa United 1-0 to lift the Nedbank Cup.
In their last match, TTM made several changes after the cup final and lost 1-0 at SuperSport United to drop into the relegation places.
TTM Team News
TTM made six changes to their side between the Nedbank Cup final and the defeat at SuperSport.
Coach Dylan Kerr is expected to revert to his best XI for this clash with cup final hero Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo back in midfield and Lerato Lamola leading the attack.
Maritzburg United Form
Maritzburg United are just three points clear of the relegation zone despite a run of five wins and four draws in their last 11 matches. The only sides to beat them in the league since February have been Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.
After a 1-1 draw with Baroka, Maritzburg burgled a 1-0 win at Stellenbosch after a dubious last minute penalty. A 1-1 draw with Swallows and a 2-0 loss at Mamelodi Sundowns followed.
In their last match, Maritzburg beat Golden Arrows 3-2 as Tebogo Tlolane, Thabiso Kutumela and Bongokuhle Hlongwane scored the goals. By the end, they were holding on for dear life against an Arrows onslaught.
Maritzburg United Team News
Maritzburg United are without wingers Jose Ali Meza and Sibusiso Hlubi due to injuries.
Coach Ernst Middendorp is expected to start Bandile Shandu at right back after his strong performance as a substitute in the last match.
