Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane have lost just once in nine league matches. They won their opening two PSL matches of this term.

The 2024-25 season began with a 1-0 home loss in the MTN8 Cup to ten-man Mamelodi Sundowns. A 2-1 home win over AmaZulu and a 2-0 victory at newly promoted Magesi FC followed.

After leaking three second-half goals, they lost 3-0 at Orlando Pirates. Before the FIFA break, they drew 1-1 at home to Stellenbosch having trailed 1-0.

Polokwane City have striker Douglas Mapfumo available after injury.

Coach Phuti Mohafe may consider benching Oswin Appollis. The winger played twice for Bafana Bafana vs Congo and his club form has dipped.

Sapunga; Matuludi, Nkaki, Nikani, Nkwe; Kambala, Alexander; Ramabu, Marema, Daniels; Mapfumo.

Before the FIFA break, they scored early and held onto the lead to win 1-0 at home to AmaZulu.
