Casric Stars vs Cape Town Spurs Predictions


This fixture is hard to call as the sides were so evenly matched in the NFD. Spurs are not the best travellers so I am tipping a Casric Stars win with both teams on target.

Head to Head


These sides have met on two previous occasions with one win apiece.

They last met in April as Cape Town Spurs won 2-0 at home.

Casric Stars Form & Team News


Casric finished third in the National First Division, just one point off the eventual winners. They won just once in their final matches which cost them automatic promotion to the top flight.

After losing 2-0 at Cape Town Spurs, they responded with a 1-0 home win against University of Pretoria. They went top of the table with two matches left after a 1-1 draw at Pretoria Callies.

A 1-1 home draw with Venda FC proved costly. Their last game saw a 2-2 draw at All Stars FC when a win would have seen them finish in top spot. 

Coach Bucs Mthombeni has no suspensions to deal with. Forward Keletso Sifama is an injury doubr. 

Veteran defensive midfielder Mumuni Abubakar could be left on the bench. 

Casric Stars Predicted Lineup


Mpakumpaku, Zulu, Gum, Tlholoe, Rammala, Thibedi, Mnisi, Zwane, Mbonani, Seseane, Mosadi.

Cape Town Spurs Form & Team News


Spurs finished second in the NFD and missed out on automatic promotion to the top flight. Successive 2-0 wins against Casric Stars and Platinum City Rovers put them top of the table with three matches left. 

A disappointing 2-1 loss at Venda FC hit their confidence. They bounced back to win 2-1 at NB La Masia and went top with one game to play. 

On the final day, Spurs could only draw 1-1 at home with University of Pretoria. They equalised in the 92nd minute but it wasn’t enough.

Coach Shaun Bartlett has his full squad available for this match. Ashley Cupido is set to lead the line. 

Orlando Pirates loanee Boitumelo Radiopane will provide firepower off the bench. Veteran Clayton Daniels will anchor the defence. 

Cape Town Spurs Predicted Lineup


Vyver, Brown, Allie, Daniels, Bern, Morton, Stander, Moroole, Ryan, Moosa, Cupido.

Verdict


The odds for this match are yet to be released. I am backing BTTS Yes and Casric Stars to win the match.
