Head to Head


Polokwane City hold a 4-2 lead over Marumo Gallants across seven clashes with one draw.

The clubs last met in December as Polokwane won 1-0 at home. 

Marumo Gallants Form & Team News


Marumo sit 14th in the PSL table after three straight league losses. They parted ways with coach Dan Malesela after their latest setback. 

After a three-match unbeaten PSL run (DWD), they won 1-0 at Pretoria Callies in the Nedbank Cup. Successive league defeats followed, losing 2-1 at relegation rivals Richards Bay and 2-0 at AmaZulu.

A 1-0 home win over AmaZulu in the Cup saw Gallants reach the quarter-finals. Their poor league form continued with a 3-1 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns. 

There could be some changes to the XI after the change of coach. Sede Dion should get the nod up front after scoring against Sundowns in preference to Gabadinho Mhango.

Two midfielders are missing due to suspension is Masindi Nemtajela and Christopher Sithole. 

Marumo Gallants Predicted Lineup


Arubi; Khumalo, Nthatheni, Sikhosana, Chabatsane; Nange, Manaka, Mokobodi; Zindoga, Dion, Msendami.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


It's three straight losses after a nine-match winless run that included 16 league points in eight fixtures. Polokwane have failed to score in their last four fixtures.

A 1-0 home win vs Chippa United made it three victories in a row. A 0-0 draw at TS Galaxy and a 2-0 loss at relegation-threatened Richards Bay followed. 

They exited the Nedbank Cup after losing 2-0 at Stellenbosch. On Tuesday, they suffered a surprise 1-0 home defeat to struggling Magesi FC. 

Polokwane City are lacking firepower right now with injuries to strikers Douglas Mapfumo and Hlayisi Chauke. Key right back Thabang Matuludi may not play again this season.

Tlou Nkwe is absent at left back and so is his deputy Langelihle Ndlovu. Inexperienced Ayabonga Gwangqa could start again in that position. 

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


Sapunga; Makhubela, Nikani, Nkaki, Gwangqa; Kambala, Maphangule, Batlhabane; Ramabu, Daniels, Appollis.

Verdict

I see Polokwane keeping a clean sheet and winning this match by 2+ goals.
