Supersport United vs Marumo Gallants Prediction: This encounter won’t deny us goals

The Betway Premier League continues as Supersport United lock horns against Marumo Gallants, hoping to secure their third win of the season at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Friday. Matsatsantsa, who have now drawn back-to-back games, can't afford to drop points against their guests.

Gavin Hunt's side have been below par this season, but they march here with back-to-back stalemate against Golden Arrows and Chippa United on the road. Just a few days ago, Supersport United settled for a share of the spoils against Chippa United in a game of few chances. Matsatsantsa fired twenty-six shots in both games without converting anything. 

Matsatsantsa might consider relieving coach Gavin Hunt of his duties if he fails to perform against Marumo Gallants tomorrow. They have picked up nine points from a combined twenty-four, scoring twice and letting in five goals.

Supersport United have been inconsistent on their ground, and only a win here can save them from their blushes.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa bowed to a (1-0) loss against Stellenbosch on the road. Marumo Gallants were not bad in that game, and I think they deserved a point at least. Since then, they’ve won against Stellenbosch and lost against Mamelodi Sundowns in their last two cup games. Maurmo Gallants have picked up four points from a combined fifteen, scoring four and conceding ten times. 

Marumo Gallants have lost all their games on the road since promotion.

Over their previous eight meetings, Marumo Gallants have won twice, while Supersport United have recorded four victories and two games ending in a share of the spoils. Supersport United have struggled this season due to their inability to convert their chances. However, with the return of their top striker, Bradley Grobler, and the signature of Samir Nurkovic, we expect a more attacking approach from them here. They have defended well in three consecutive matches and needed to just take their chances. Supersport United will win here for 1.82.

I expect this game to end in a win for the home team before the break for 2.20.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.76.

Good luck!
