SuperSport United vs Polokwane City Predictions


The visitors are a defensive and determined team. They will be a tough nut to crack but I see SuperSport winning the cup tie in regulation time. I’m not tipping both sides to score in a tight affair.

Head to Head


SuperSport United hold an impressive 10-3 advantage over Polokwane City across 19 previous meetings. Six matches have ended in draws. 

The sides last met back in 2020 as SuperSport won 2-0 at home.

SuperSport United Form & Team News


SuperSport have won five of their last eight matches with two surprise defeats. After successive wins, they were thrashed 3-0 at home by a ruthless Golden Arrows. 

A 1-1 draw at Gaborone United preceded a 1-0 victory over Kaizer Chiefs. Their inconsistency continued by losing 1-0 at Chippa United with ten men before a 3-0 home win over Gaborone United (4-1 aggregate).

In their fixture before the FIFA break, Matsatsantsa won 2-1 at Cape Town Spurs. Bradley Grobler scored an 86th minute winner to seal a come-from-behind win.

Centre back Thulani Hlatshwayo is suspended. Right back Kegan Johannes is an injury doubt. 

Siphesihle Ndlovu needs a late fitness test ahead of this tie. Veteran defender Onismor Bhasera and youngster Keenan Bezuidenhout could both start.

SuperSport United Predicted Lineup


Goss; Okon, Xulu, Bhasera; Lungu, Margeman, Moralo, Bezuidenhout, Pfumbidzai; Grobler, Ighodaro.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane have won five of their nine matches since promotion. They’re four matches without conceding a goal.

After consecutive defeats, they drew 0-0 at home with AmaZulu. A 1-0 home victory over Royal AM preceded a 1-0 win at a Richards Bay side who played 75 minutes with ten men.

Rise and Shine’s last match saw a 0-0 draw at Sekhukhune United. They were outshot 14-4 but held on for a point.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema will hope to have Douglas Mapfumo available up front. Hlayisi Chauke is on standby to deputise otherwise. 

Wide attacker Puleng Marema remains absent. Manuel Kambala is pushing for a first start in central midfield. 

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


Sapunga; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Ndlovu; Ramabu, Maphangule, Mashikinya, Appollis; Mabena, Mapfumo.

Verdict

I see a home win in this match. I'm going with BTTS No as my best bet.
