On Sep 3rd, Sekhukhune United will play host to Royal AM in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which is great football weather. Sekhukhune United sits at 11th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Moroka Swallows. Sepana Letsoalo scored the first goal for Sekhukhune United in the 27th minute, but Mwape Musonda got the equalizer for Moroka Swallows in the 40th minute Finally they completed the comback in the 80th minute on a goal by Mwape Musonda to cap off a wild match. Sekhukhune United looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 4th placed Royal AM, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Maritzburg United. Sera Motebang struck first for Royal AM in the 10th minute on a feed from Andre De Jong, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Maritzburg United couldn’t muster any offence and Royal AM ran away with the shutout win. Royal AM is looking for direction having 3 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Royal AM’s top weapon lately has been Andre De Jong, who has three goals in the last five matches. Tshegofatso Mabaso and Tashreeq Morris are the top scorers for Sekhukhune United in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
