Golden Arrows vs Polokwane City Predictions


Arrows have dominated this fixture of late. Rise and Shine are flying high but their away form is concerning. I’m backing a home victory with Under 2.5 goals.

Head to Head


Golden Arrows hold a 10-3 advantage over Polokwane City across 18 previous clashes with five draws.

Arrows won 1-0 away from home when the clubs last met in March 2024.

Golden Arrows Form & Team News


Arrows have lost five of their last eight fixtures in all competitions. However, two recent league wins have shot them up to seventh in the PSL table. 

A 2-0 loss at Chippa United made it four straight losses. A tight 0-0 home draw versus SuperSport United was followed by a 3-2 win at Royal AM. 

A 3-2 home win against Cape Town City followed. Their last match saw them allow 14 shots at home to Richards Bay in a 1-0 defeat.

Arrows have been without strikers Knox Mutizwa and Lungelo Nguse in recent fixtures. Ryan Moon is set to lead the line after scoring in the wins over Royal AM and Cape Town City. 

Nduduzo Sibiya is set to be recalled in midfield. Captain Thabani Zuke is injured and has been struggling to find his best form. 

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup


Maova; Lukhele, Phillips, Shitolo, Mantshiyane; Ndwandwe, Dube; Mthanti, Sibiya, Van Rooi; Moon.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane have won six of their 11 league fixtures this season. They sit third in the table with nine of their last 10 PSL victories coming to zero. 

After successive wins, they were beaten 2-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns and 1-0 at Cape Town City. They scored late to draw 1-1 at home to TS Galaxy before beating Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 despite allowing 17 shots.

Their last match saw a 1-0 home victory over Marumo Gallants. They were outshot 16-9 in that victory. 

Polokwane could hand another start to youngster Monty Batlhabane in midfield. Ndamulelo Maphangule is doubtful but Manuel Kambala should return. 

Raymond Daniels is on standby to play up front. Both Douglas Mapfumo and Hlayisi Chauke are carrying injuries in attack.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


Sapunga; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Nkwe; Seabi, Batlhabane, Alexander; Ramabu, Daniels, Appollis.

Verdict

I see this match having Under 2.5 goals. I'm tipping Arrows to take the three points.
