Week 12 brings us a match on Dec 8th where Sekhukhune United hosts Tshakhuma in a clash of the Premier League in the ever popular Tembisa derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Sekhukhune United recorded a 0-2 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns. Maema struck first for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 21st minute, then Themba Zwane added another in the 60th minute on a penalty shot In the end, Sekhukhune United couldn’t muster any offence and Mamelodi Sundowns ran away with the shutout win. Sekhukhune United should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Tshakhuma recorded a 3-1 win against TS Galaxy. Lehlohonolo Nonyane struck first for Tshakhuma in the 33rd minute on a feed from Joseph Malongoane, then Sibusiso Kumalo added another in the 39th minute. Tshakhuma looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Lerato Lamola and Sede Junior Dion are the top scorers for Tshakhuma in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Sekhukhune United is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Chibuike Ohizu and Willard Katsande each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
