Head to Head

The teams last met in a cup game in 2021 where Sundowns won 4-0 at home.

Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane have two wins and two losses since their return to the top-flight. They won the 2022-23 First Division to seal promotion.

Their first PSL match back saw a 92nd minute goal conceded in a 1-0 loss at Cape Town City without a shot on target. A shock 1-0 home win over Stellenbosch preceded a 3-1 home win over Cape Town Spurs.

Their most recent match saw a 3-2 defeat at Golden Arrows. Polokwane City led 1-0 but conceded three goals in 26 first-half minutes.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema is still without key forward Puleng Marema due to injury. Zimbabwean striker Douglas Mapfumo has scored in his last two matches.

Nyakala Raphadu is set for a recall on the wing. Lindokuhle Dhladhla is set to lose his place.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

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

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns have won all six of their matches this season. They have a perfect 15 points from five league fixtures.

After a 90th minute goal to beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at home, they beat Moroka Swallows 1-0 at home in the MTN8 Cup. A 4-0 home thrashing of Golden Arrows preceded a steady 2-0 victory at Chippa United.

Their last match saw a tired-looking display to win 1-0 at Richards Bay. Junior Mendieta scored the only goal of the game.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena is without injured striker Peter Shalulile. Others forwards in Thapelo Morena and Abubeker Nassir are also ruled out.

Grant Kekana will cover at right back with Khuliso Mudau out injured. Abdelmounaim Boutouil is suspended in defence.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Williams; Kekana, Mvala, Lebusa; Coetzee, Mokoena; Nku, Allende, Zwane, Modiba; Ribeiro.

Verdict

Polokwane City v Mamelodi Sundowns

I can only see a Sundowns win in this one. I'm backing a win to nil and also Sundowns to win by a two-goal margin or bigger.

Sundowns win to nil
