Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane have had a difficult period last season with one win in nine matches, ending with a 5-0 loss at Stellenbosch. They rallied to finish in the top eight thanks to a five-match unbeaten run (WDDDW).

A 1-0 success at Cape Town Spurs preceded a 0-0 home draw vs Richards Bay. Two more goalless stalemates followed, at home to Sekhukhune United and away at Kaizer Chiefs.

Rise and Shine beat TS Galaxy 1-0 at home on the final day. This term began with a 1-0 loss in extra time at ten-man Mamelodi Sundowns.

It’s been a quiet transfer window for Polokwane. They have so far held onto key right back Tholo Matuludi and winger Oswin Appollis.

The latter scored twice for Bafana Bafana on Tuesday and may be fatigued. Given Mashikinya was released in midfield.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

Sapunga; Matuludi, Nkaki, Nikani, Nkwe; Kambala, Maphangule, Alexander; Ramabu, Mapfumo, Appollis.

After two wins in three matches, they lost 2-1 at Richards Bay. Successive draws followed in rounds 27 and 28, 0-0 at Stellenbosch and 1-1 at home to Kaizer Chiefs.
