Sekhukhune United and Marumo Gallants FC have met many times and usually finish with a scoreline that is not far apart. This time the pattern of play is clearly different, because the visitors have not beaten anyone at all in the league this season and sit bottom of the table with 2 points from 7 matches. The hosts are in 6th place with 11 points from 7 matches, scoring 7 and conceding 7, which is middling in both directions, but they just closed out with a 3-2 win, a match in which their attack worked to the fullest. Meanwhile Marumo Gallants FC have lost 2 in a row and have conceded more than they have scored this season (5 scored, 13 conceded), so their defence is a problem that follows them into every match. Given this situation, the hosts are likely to be the side that has to open up and attack from the first minute, while the visitors, whose morale is suffering, will probably drop deep to defend and wait for occasional counter-attacking chances. If Sekhukhune United dominate possession and get the ball into the box often as expected, the goals are likely to come mainly from the hosts, and there is also a chance the visitors will get a goal from a counter-attack.
