Golden Arrows vs Polokwane City Predictions

This is a tough match to call. Arrows have been drawing a lot of home matches of late. Polokwane have made a confident start to life in the top flight so I am backing them to take a point.

Golden Arrows Form & Team News

Arrows were thrashed in their last match but they had been on a run of one loss in 10 matches before that. At home, it’s three draws in the last four.

Golden Arrows began this season with a 1-1 home draw against Moroka Swallows. A good 2-1 away win at Richards Bay followed thanks to an 88th minute winner.

Their last match saw a 4-0 humbling at Mamelodi Sundowns. It was one-way traffic and the scoreline could have been even bigger.

Captain Thabani Zuke is still injured at centre back. Themba Mantshiyane missed the last match at the back and was a real loss.

Knox Mutizwa should return from a knock to boost the forward options. Arrows made four half-time changes vs Sundowns and could shake up their XI.

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup

Watenga; Theron, Ndlovu, Shitolo, Cross; Dube, Gumbi; Van Rooi, Sibiya, Ncube; Moon.

Polokwane City Form & Team News

It’s been a strong start to the season for Rise and Shine. They were promoted after finishing first in the NDF last season on the final day.

Their first match back in the top-flight saw a 1-0 loss at Cape Town City. They were thoroughly outclassed but it took a 92nd minute set-piece to deny them a point.

A 1-0 home win at Stellenbosch followed after weathering a second half storm. Last time out, they beat Cape Town Spurs 3-1 at home.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema is set to name an unchanged XI. Zimbabwean striker Douglas Mapfumo will lead the line.

Oswin Appollis netted a brace in the last match and will play as the number ten. Key attacker Puleng Marema is out injured.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

Mathebula; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Nkwe; Mashikinya, Maphangule; Nana, Appollis, Ramabu; Mapfumo.

Verdict

Golden Arrows v Polokwane City

I am backing a draw in this match. Arrows are struggling to win at home and they're weaker this season after selling some top players. Polokwane City have enough to take a 1-1 draw.
