Marumo Gallants vs Cape Town City Prediction: The visitors are the closest to securing all the points

On Saturday, Marumo Gallants will lock horns against Cape Town City FC at DR Petrus MOLEMELA Stadium. The hosts are yet to taste a win in over four league games and have a more difficult task to overcome against a more efficient Citizens team. 

Marumo Gallants (12th)

Last five games: WLLLD

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa failed to impress as they settled for a share of the spoils against Richards Bay. It was a distasteful performance which could have ended in a defeat. Goalkeeper Washington Arubi was awarded the man of the match following his decent performance against Richards Bay at home. The (0-0) stalemate was after their three consecutive defeats in the league. 

Maurmo Gallants have picked up eleven points from a combined thirty-three, scoring nine and conceding twenty-one times. 

Marumo Gallants have managed two wins, two share of the spoils once, and lost a game on their home turf this season. 

Cape Town City (6th)

Last five games: LWLWW

The Citizens are back to where they belong after struggling with form at the start of the season. The appointment of coach Muhsin Ertugral has breathed some fresh air into the squad. With back-to-back wins against Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, Cape Town City moved to sixth place on the log. After their slim (1-0) victory over Kaizer Chiefs, Darwin Gonzalez scored the only goal that secured them all the points against Soweto giant Orlando Pirates on their home turf. 

The Citizens have had a difficult start this season, winning five of their last twelve league matches. Turkish tactician Muhsin Ertugral picked up his second win in his second game, and he’ll be keen to build on it in their forthcoming games. Cape Town City moved sixth place on the log following their recent performance. They have picked up seventeen points from a combined thirty-six, scoring eight and conceding twelve. 

Cape Town City have drawn once, lost four, and won a game on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Marumo Gallants have managed a win while Cape Town City FC have won twice and three games ending in a tie over their previous six meetings. Marumo Gallants have struggled in recent games, heading here with three defeats in four matches. The shocking thing about this team is that they failed to win at home against Richards Bay and were almost beaten in front of their home supporters.

Cape Town City played defensively against their last two opponents due to the level and respect they have for them. It won’t be the same against a lowly ranked Marumo Gallants. I think this game will be an open encounter and likely end in favour of the guests. Having watched Cape Town City's last two games, I’m convinced they stand a better chance against the hosts.

I also think this game will produce more than two goals for 2.60.

I expect the guests to score before the break for 2.35.

Good luck!
