Sekhukhune United FC host Richards Bay in a Premier Soccer League fixture at Peter Mokaba Stadium this week. The match offers the home side a chance to build on their recent positive form and solidify their sixth place position, which they hold with 14 points from eight games comprising four wins and two draws.
Sekhukhune United come into the game on a two-match winning run, having beaten Marumo Gallants last time out. That 2-1 victory on Saturday 17 October, secured by goals from Oageng Phiri and Bethuel Muzeu, lifted them to sixth place in the standings. Their recent sequence reads two wins and a draw from the last three outings, following a 3-2 win over Richards Bay in September and a 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch. The team's overall form this season shows four wins, two draws, and two losses, with nine goals scored and eight conceded.
The teams last met in September, with Sekhukhune United securing a dramatic 3-2 away victory. Ngoanamello Rammala scored a late winner in that game, assisted by Oageng Phiri. Top scorer E. Rammala, who has two goals in seven appearances this season, will be a key attacking threat again.
The club has not reported any new injury concerns following the win over Marumo Gallants.
After this match, Sekhukhune United's next assignment is a trip to face fourth-placed Milford FC on Sunday 1 November.
