Cape Town City
Game Prediction
The derby representatives of one and the same city do not surprise anyone in football. Still, South Africa will be treated to a unique confrontation, on New Year’s Day, between the teams that have been recently the parts of the same structure. Cape Town Spurs will play against Cape Town City, and it is easy to guess what city it will be placed in (and the name of the stadium contains the same word). A detailed prediction for the match on December 31, 2023 has been prepared for the readers of the website.
Cape Town Spurs, as a current brand, returns to the top division of the country and makes a debut
“The Urban Warriors” forged their fame as the South African “branch” of Ajax. This is how the National Football League was won in 1995, and then 5 different cup trophies, including the Eight Cup 2015, were added. Soon the problems began and, at the same time, a change of owners happened. A new name, “the Spurs”, appeared in 2020, but the team took 2nd place of the First League only in the previous season. The higher mentioned result allowed it to qualify for the Premiership. Still, the newcomer, unfortunately, remains a deaf outsider. Having got the only victory, which was taken in the confrontation with Orlando Pirates, the team lost everything else, and the match against AmaZulu brought a draw.
Cape Town City is already perceived as one of the leaders in South African football
“The Citizens” had a rather complicated history. There was a rebranding in 2016 and the League Cup was immediately won under the current name. The subsequent draws helped the team reach the final of the Eight Cup 3 times, and it took the trophy in 2018 there. Speaking about the Premiership, of course, there was no chance to compete with Mamelodi Sundowns, but the club manages to finish in the top 3. For instance, the previous cycle brought 3rd place. This time, there was a failure, with 4 defeats in a row, after a couple of victories at the very beginning, but then the team first achieved a goalless draw in the struggle with Galaxy, and then it took 6 victories in a row. Only Stellenbosch stopped the “march” of the team – the opponent won that game with a 1-0 score at the home arena. Then there was a match with the champion and “the Brazilians” were stopped – a 0-0 draw.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The City” won all 5 matches, including in the current season, in September – that derby resulted in a 3-1 score.
