Sekhukhune vs Orbit College – click here to bet
Sekhukhune come into this fixture sitting 5th on the standings with 29 points from 17 matches. They have enjoyed a solid campaign thus far, recording eight wins, five draws and four defeats while conceding just 10 goals all season. Their defensive structure has been a key strength and they boast one of the better goal differences in the division at +7.
Their recent form has been mixed. Most recently they secured a 1-0 away victory over TS Galaxy which followed a narrow 2-0 home defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns. Prior to that they held Orlando Pirates to a goalless draw.
Orbit College currently occupy 15th place on the table with 14 points from 17 fixtures. It has been a challenging season for the visitors who have managed just four wins while conceding 30 goals, the worst defensive record in the league.
Their latest result saw them earn a 2-2 away draw against Polokwane City, but that came after five consecutive defeats. On the road they have struggled for consistency, and defensive lapses have cost them valuable points throughout the campaign having won one, drawn one and lost six of their away clashes.
Head-to-Head:
These sides have met once in the league this season with Sekhukhune claiming a convincing 3-0 away victory over Orbit College back in August. Notably this was the first competitive meeting between the teams.
Odds: Sekhukhune 1.67 | Draw 3.50 | Orbit College 6.25
Verdict:
Sekhukhune have been organised and efficient all season and they have been hard to break down. Orbit College continue to concede goals frequently and face a difficult assignment against one of the league’s more disciplined outfits. I am expecting the hosts to control the tempo and secure a comfortable victory without reply from Orbit College.
