Erik Tinkler has expressed concern over his team's start to this season, while Gavin Hunt is fresh off the euphoria of winning his first match of this campaign. Two legends on the touch line, two capital cities represented and three points on the line. Hold on to your hat, this could get wild. 

Here are a few markets to consider adding to your bet slip...

Team News

Erik Tinkler finds himself a frustrated man ahead of this weekends clash with Supersport United. He has said that his team needs to step up their game in the individual duals.

3 Way - Draw 2/1

Supersport United managed to secure their first win of this season, when they took on TS Galaxy. This was a long time coming with Gavin Hunt's side losing to Sundowns on the opening day and playing out to a draw against Royal Am. The Pretoria Derby was always going to be a big test, however, many expected them to breeze past a struggling Royal AM. That unfortunately did not happen. After managing a win against TS Galaxy by just a single goal, faith has been restored in Gavin Hunt and his boys. With faith comes expectations. So the Pretorians will be expecting their team to return with all three points.

They face a bigger test when they take on Cape Town City, who are yet to register their first win of the season. Cape Town City, have struggled to maintain a clean sheet or keep goals out. They conceded 4 goals in their last 2 matches. This is problematic when you take into account that they have also scored just one goal in two matches. This is looking like a recipe for disaster and Erik Tinkler will have to address it quickly before he finds his team fighting to stay in the top eight, come the end of the season.

History between these two is very even with Supersport United winning 8 matches against Cape Town City. City winning 7 and there has been 6 draws between them. There is really not much to distinguish between the two sides. City have done well at home, with one loss to Supersport United in their last five meetings in Cape Town. The latest result was a draw and I am convinced that history will repeat itself and see another draw between City and Supersport.
