Maritzburg vs Cape Town City Prediction: Expect goals from both teams

The South Africa Premier League match between Maritzburg and Cape Town City will take place at Harry Gwala Stadium, which will serve as the host location. The home team, Maritzburg, comes into this match having lost their previous three matches, while the away team, Cape Town City, had recently defeated Sekhukhune United in their previous league match.

Maritzburg United won one game against Golden Arrows, lost three games to Chippa United, Orlando Pirates, and SuperSport United, and tied one game against AmaZulu. During those matches, Maritzburg United was only able to score three goals while giving up a total of six goals. During the course of the current league season, Maritzburg United has scored an average of 0.67 goals per game. When it comes to disciplinary actions, the home team has been issued 30 yellow cards but none of the more severe red cards, and they have committed an average of 5.86 fouls per game. Maritzburg United has only managed to hold control of the ball for an average of 47.86% so far this season. However, they are unable to keep it.

In their most recent five matches, Cape Town City has won three of them against TS Galaxy, Moroka Swallows, and Sekhukhune United. However, they have lost two of those matches to Stellenbosch and SuperSport United. In those matches, the away team was only able to score 3 goals while giving up 8 goals. Away matches saw Cape Town City score an average of 1.05 goals per game while also allowing an average of 1.05 goals against. There were a total of 172 fouls committed, which resulted in the awarding of 48 yellow cards and 2 red cards to the opposing team. The average rating that each match gives Cape Town City's team is 0. The percentage of time that Cape Town City has had possession of the ball during the entire season is at a very respectable 53.21% on average.

Because of their recent problems and the fact that they can't even play good defense, the home team will have a hard time getting a draw in this game. This is another sign of how hard their season has been overall. On the other hand, given the manner in which the away team competed in their most recent two contests, I anticipate that they will be able to win this match. Also, I believe that there will be more than 1.5 goals scored in the game because both sides should have the ability to put points on the board.
