Royal AM Form & Team News

Royal AM are in curious form. Their last 15 matches have seen just two wins but they’ve lost just twice in the last nine fixtures.

A 0-0 draw at Royal AM made it four successive stalemates to start this season. A 3-0 thumping followed away at Cape Town City in the Carling Knockout Cup.

After losing 2-1 at Mamelodi Sundowns last midweek, they bounced back to beat Sekhukhune United 2-0 at home on Saturday.

Goalkeepers Zakahle Ngcobo and Hugo Nyame are doubtful. Mondli Mpoto is on standby to deputise in goal.

Coach John Maduka is without injured winger Khethu Ndlovu and forward Sedwyn George.

Royal AM Predicted Lineup

Mpoto; Shezi, Zulu, Jiyane, Matlaba; Maxwele, Mpisane, Magaqa, Mahlasela, Thikazi; Sera.

Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane were on a run of one loss in eight matches before a recent decline.

A 2-0 win at Magesi was followed by losing 3-0 at Orlando Pirates. A 1-1 draw vs Stellenbosch was followed by losing 3-2 at home to Marumo Gallants.

A shock 3-2 home loss to Marumo Gallants in the Carling KO Cup hit the side hard. They responded with a late 1-0 win over Mamelodi Sundowns as they outshot their opponents 12-4.

Coach Phuti Mohafe used three defensive midfielders in the win over Sundowns. He could recall Puleng Marema as a number ten for this match.

Striker Douglas Mapfumo is back from injury. Talented young winger Mokibelo Ramabu is doubtful.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

Sapunga; Matuludi, Nkaki, Nikani, Nkwe; Kambala, Alexander; Dlamini, Marema, Appollis; Mapfumo.

Verdict

I see this match finishing level. There is every chance of this being a 0-0 draw.
