Durban City vs TS Galaxy Predictions - City to beat struggling Rockets in Cup Final
Durban City is tipped to win the Nedbank Cup final against TS Galaxy, who are struggling with form and have recently replaced their coach. Despite Durban City's recent winless streak in league matches, they've shown resilience in the cup and have beaten TS Galaxy 2-0 in both previous encounters this season. TS Galaxy, losing 9 of their last 11, are unlikely to overturn this trend. The predicted result is a 2-0 win for Durban City, with their solid defense and attacking improvements giving them the edge.
- Durban City has beaten TS Galaxy 2-0 in both previous meetings this season.
- TS Galaxy have lost 9 of their last 11 matches and sacked their coach.
- Prediction: Durban City win with a clean sheet, likely 2-0.

Durban City vs TS Galaxy Predictions
I see Durban City winning this final. TS Galaxy are in very poor form right now. I’m backing a third 2-0 win in this fixture of the season.
Key Stats – Galaxy in Poor Form
- Durban City have won to nil in their last 2 matches vs TS Galaxy.
- Durban City have seen BTTS No in 14 of their last 17 PSL matches.
- TS Galaxy have lost 9 of their last 11 PSL matches.

Head to Head – Two Wins for City
These clubs have met on two previous occasions.
Durban City won both clashes in the league by 2-0 score lines.
Winless in Four – Durban City Focused on Cup Final
Durban City are winless in four matches, but they’ve reached the Nedbank Cup final. They’ve dropped down to seventh in the PSL table.
A 1-0 home win over Casric Stars in the Nedbank Cup semi-finals was followed by three league losses. A 1-0 home defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns was followed by a 1-0 loss at Golden Arrows.
They leaked three goals in the opening 20 minutes in a 5-2 loss at struggling Magesi. Their last match saw a disappointing 1-1 home draw vs bottom-placed Orbit College.
Galaxy Sacked Coach – Nine Losses in 11 League Fixtures
TS Galaxy have lost nine of their last 11 league matches. Bernard Parker took over as caretaker coach ahead of the last match.
A humiliating 6-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates was followed by beating Milford FC on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the Nedbank Cup semi-final. They lost 2-1 at home to Polokwane City and 2-0 at Kaizer Chiefs.
A 1-0 home loss to Richards Bay saw the axe fall on coach Adnan Beganovic. They drew 0-0 at home to Magesi last time out as they failed to create a clear cut chance.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Durban City (4-2-3-1): Keet; Gcaba, Ncanana, Mkhize, Mashego; Jurgens, Poggenpoel; Maseko, Domingo, Magawana; Mwamba.
Swiss striker Jean Lwamba has scored three goals in his last two matches. Saziso Magawana is fit again and is set to play in support of the forward.
Siphamandla Ncanana will return from suspension in defence. Emmanuel Jalai is set to drop down to the bench.
TS Galaxy (4-5-1): Tape; Fisher, Mahlangu, Salatiel, Letsoenyo; Zingoga, Mvelase, Maduna, Mbunjana, Mahlambi; Letsoalo.
TS Galaxy have Oupa Motaung available at right back. MacBeth Mahlangu is pushing for a recall in defence.
Caretaker coach Bernard Parrker may consider using a back three. Mory Keita is an option to freshen up the attack.
Verdict
I'm backing a Durban City win to zero and a 2-0 score.
