Polokwane City vs AmaZulu Predictions


The hosts rely on their home form for points. AmaZulu’s away record isn’t great but they seem to have turned a corner. I’m backing a low-scoring match with the visitors to nick a win.

Head to Head


AmaZulu hold a narrow 4-3 advantage over Polokwane City across 12 previous matches with five draws.

The sides last met in February 2020 as AmaZulu won 1-0 at home.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane have two wins and three losses since being promoted. Both victories have come on home turf.

Their first league match back brought a 1-0 loss at Cape Town City after conceding in the last minute. A 1-0 home win over Stellenbosch preceded a 3-1 home victory over fellow newcomers Cape Town Spurs.

A 3-2 loss at Golden Arrows saw them leak three goals in 26 minutes in the first half. They were beaten 2-0 at home by Mamelodi Sundowns in their last match.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema hopes to have key forward Puleng Marema available again. Zimbabwean striker Douglas Mapfumo will lead the line. 

Left back Tlou Nkwe will battle Langelihle Ndlovu for a starting spot.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


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

AmaZulu Form & Team News


Usuthu were on a disastrous run of one win in 13 matches in all competitions. They’ve since won successive league fixtures for the first time since August 2022.

This season began with three 0-0 draws in a row. They made it four matches without scoring as an even game ended in a 3-0 loss at Kaizer Chiefs.

AmaZulu then beat TS Galaxy 1-0 at home. Two goals in injury time sealed a 3-2 home win over Cape Town City last time out.

Coach Pablo Franco Martin has striker Sede Dion fit again in the last match. He scored twice from the bench and will start this one. 

Centre back Taariq Fielies could make his debut after signing from Cape Town City. George Maluleka is doubtful in midfield.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup


Mothwa; Gumede, Fielies, Mobara; Sikhakhane, Brooks, Ngema, Malepe, Hanamub; Dion, Kwem.

Verdict

I don't see both sides scoring in this clash based on recent stats. I'm tipping AmaZulu to nick the victory on their travels.
