Cape Town City vs Polokwane City Predictions

Both of these sides are solid at the back but tend to score very few goals. I see this match being settled for the odd goal. I’m backing BTTS No and the hosts to take the victory.

Cape Town City Form & Team News

City are reliant on their home form and tend to struggle on the road. They have tightened up defensively since losing 3-0 vs Stellenbosch FC.

Successive home wins followed, 1-0 vs SuperSport United and 3-0 in the Carling Knockout Cup vs Royal AM. A 0-0 home draw vs Magesi saw just three shots on target produced from 71% possession.

A resounding 3-0 defeat at Mamelodi Sundowns saw just one shot on target from City. Their last match saw a loss on penalties after drawing 0-0 at Richards Bay in the Carling Knockout Cup.

Aprocious Petrus is still suspended in midfield after a recent red card.

Coach Eric Tinkler could start teenager Gabriel Amato in midfield once again. Some changes are possible in attack as the team is struggling to create chances.

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup

Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Cupido, Nyama; Mokotjo, Amato; Rhodes, Domingo, Darwin Gonzalez; Soukhouna.

Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane are doing well in the league with four wins in seven PSL matches thus far. They sit third in the table and are eight points above their upcoming opponents.

After 3-0 at Orlando Pirates, they fought hard for a 1-1 home draw vs Stellenbosch. A surprise 3-2 home loss to Marumo Gallants followed in the Carling Knockout Cup.

Rise and Shine bounced back with successive 1-0 league wins: at home to Mamelodi Sundowns and away at Royal AM. Their last fixture was a 2-0 defeat at Sundowns in the PSL with just 28% possession.

Polokwane City have a settled team. The only question marks are upfront and down the right flank.

Speedy right winger Mokibelo Ramabu is doubtful. Hlayisi Chauke and Douglas Mapfumo are competing to start up front.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

Sapunga; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Nkwe; Seabi, Maphangule, Alexander; Dlamini, Chauke, Appollis.

Verdict

Cape Town City v Polokwane City

I can't see both sides scoring here. I'm tipping City to take a 1-0 win.
