Cape Town Spurs vs Casric Stars Predictions


Spurs are playing well and they know a win here puts them a point from promotion to the DSTV Premiership. Casric are winless in five matches with two defeats to nil in the last two months vs Spurs. I am tipping a third win to nil in a row for the hosts.

Head to Head


These sides have met on three previous occasions with Cape Town Spurs holding a 2-1 advantage. 

They last met 10 days ago as Spurs won 1-0 away from home. 

Cape Town Spurs Form & Team News


Spurs sit top of the relegation/promotion playoff table with two wins from two. They need four more points from two matches to guarantee promotion to the top flight. 

They finished second in the National First Division after losing top spot after final day draw. A 2-1 win at NB La Masia in round 29 sent them top before a final day 1-1 draw with University of Pretoria. 

In the playoffs, they’ve beaten both Casric Stars (away) and Maritzburg (away) by 1-0 margins. 

Coach Shaun Bartlett has no injuries or suspensions. He may be tempted to recall Boitumelo Radiopane alongside Ashley Cupido in a more attacking setup. 

No other changes are expected with veteran Michael Morton anchoring midfield. Veterans Clayton Daniels and Nazeer Allie are key at the back.

Cape Town Spurs Predicted Lineup


Vyver; Allie, Brown, Daniels, Dortley; Velebayi, Nel, Moroole, Morton, Cupido; Radiopane.

Casric Stars Form & Team News


Casric have lost both promotion playoff matches so far and will be out of the running if they draw here. 

Stars drew their final three NFD matches to finish third. They drew 1-1 at Pretoria Callies, 1-1 at home to Venda FC and 2-2 at All Stars FC on the final day.

Their two playoff matches have ended in defeats. They lost 1-0 at home to Cape Town Spurs before a 2-0 loss to Maritzburg United last Wednesday.

Coach Bucs Mthombeni could make some changes to his side. Attacking midfielder Sibusiso Milazi could start. 

In midfield, Given Thibedi could be dropped and Mumuni Abubakar may remain on the subs bench.

Casric Stars Predicted Lineup


Baloyi; Mnisi, Mtshweni, Gum, Rammala; Zwane, Milazi, Thloloe; Mosadi, Mabote, Rakwena.

Verdict


The odds for this match are yet to be released. I will be backing Cape Town Spurs to win to nil.
