Supersport United vs TS Galaxy Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to lose on their ground

Supersport United will face off against TS Galaxy at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday, hoping to get their first victory in the Premier League in 2024. The Spartans have not kept a clean sheet in their previous twenty-three games, and with the way the visitors are set up, we expect more than two goals here. 

Last five games: DDDDD

Since their (3-1) defeat against Richards Bay, Supersport United have drawn five consecutive games in the league. After going two goals up on the road against Golden Arrows, they watched the hosts crawl back into the game, responding twice before the final whistle. Another disappointing performance by the Spartans, who previously held Memelod Sundowns to a (1-1) stalemate away from home. 

Gavin Hunt's men dropped to fifth place on the log following their recent run in the division. The Spartans have been shaky at the back in recent games as they march here without a clean sheet in twenty-three matches in all competitions. Supersport United have picked up thirty-four points from a possible sixty-three, scoring twenty-eight and conceding twenty-five times. Supersport United scored the second-highest number of goals this season but has been terrible at the back. Supersport United have won five, drawn twice, and lost twice at home this season. 

Last five games: WLDWW

The Rockets ended their two games without a breakthrough with back-to-back victories over Amazulu and Royal AM. TS Galaxy are the best home team in the division and have won five straight games on their own turf. 

TS Galaxy play one of the best football in the league and are 7th on the log with thirty-one points from sixty-three. The Rockets will rely solely on their home record to at least end up in the top half of the table this season, as they have won once, drawn twice, and lost six away from home this season. 

Over their previous six games, Supersport United have won four while TS Galaxy have won once and two games ending in a tie. Supersport United's defence have been breached in their last twenty-three games as they march here after their (2-2) stalemate on the road to Amazulu. At the same time, TS Galaxy have been underwhelming on the road lately, with a win over their previous nine games. One thing is certain: the hosts will concede a goal at least but will likely secure the maximum points. We want to risk a BTTS and a total of over 2.5 goals here for 3.34.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.48.

Supersport United might even secure a halftime victory here for 2.57.

Good luck!
