Cape Town City vs Milford Predictions

Cape Town City finished second on the table, level on points with Milford but with a superior goal difference. I am backing the former PSL club to get this promotion playoff campaign off to a winning start.

Head to Head

These two sides have met twice this season with Milford winning 1-0 at home before the reverse game in Cape Town ended level.

Cape Town City Form

Cape Town City will be disappointed that they never won the league and automatic promotion but that was due to a poor period during the season. They ended their campaign in stunning form, unbeaten in eight of their last nine games.

The former PSL club won their last three matches of the season, two of them to nil. Prior to that, they also drew 0-0 against The Bees. A 4-0 home win over Gomora United was followed by a 1-0 success against Baroka.

In their last match, City produced a stunning attacking performance, thrashing Leicesterford City 4-2 away from home.

Milford Form

Milford ended the season in third-place, level on points with Cape Town City, but goal difference proved key. While Cape Town City have been in good form, so has Milford with three wins and a draw in their last four games.

That run began with a 1-0 win over Black Leopards before seeing off The Bees 2-1 and University of Pretoria 2-0, both at home. Last time out, Milford disappointed, only managing a 0-0 draw at Hungry Lions when a win would have taken them into second place.

Verdict

Cape Town City v Milford

Both teams are in good form, but Cape Town City has been scoring plenty of goals. I am backing City to get the win in this promotion playoff opener.
