In the fourth round of the South African Premiership, Sekhukhune will host Golden Arrows at home. The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, kicking off at 15:00 CET. Here’s the forecast from the Sportsmacro experts.
Sekhukhune
Sekhukhune started the new season with a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Marumo Gallants. In their second match against Chippa United, they faced a challenging game. After conceding an early goal in the 7th minute, Sekhukhune equalized in the 49th minute. Despite Chippa United receiving a red card shortly after, Sekhukhune couldn’t take advantage, and the match ended 1-1.
Currently, they sit sixth in the standings with four points and a goal difference of 2:1. Additionally, they failed to qualify for the CAF Champions League, having finished fourth last season.
