Golden Arrows vs Royal AM Predictions

Arrows have focused on clean sheets in recent games since changing coach. Royal AM have improved on the road but their attacking play has not been clicking of late. I am tipping this match to be low scoring with a share of the points.

Golden Arrows have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 matches (PSL).
Royal AM are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 away matches (3 draws)(PSL).
Royal AM have failed to score in their last 2 matches (PSL).

Head to Head

These sides have met on just one previous occasion.

They played out a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture with Royal AM at home.

Golden Arrows Form

Arrows have won just once in six matches as their season peters out. They sit one point outside the top eight and qualifying for next season’s MTN8 Cup.

After losing 6-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns, coach Lehlohonolo Seema was sacked. A 0-0 home draw with Sekhukhune United followed before a fine 2-1 home win against Kaizer Chiefs.

Arrows have made it five blanks fired in six matches as they lost 1-0 at Baroka and drew 0-0 at Marumo Gallants.

Golden Arrows Injuries & Team News

Pule Mmodi and Michael Gumede look set to be recalled in the front three. Top centre back and captain Nkosinathi Sibisi remains an injury doubt.

Right backs Siyabonga Dube and Mthokozisi Dube are both doubtful with knocks.

Royal AM Form

Royal are chasing a top two finish and CAF Champions League qualification. They trail Cape Town City by three points with a game in hand.

John Maduka’s side were nine matches unbeaten before losing last time out. Having won 4-1 at TS Galaxy and 2-0 at home to Marumo Gallants, they got a steady 1-1 draw at Cape Town City.

The side have failed to score in their last two, a 0-0 home draw with AmaZulu and a 1-0 loss at Maritzburg United.

Royal AM Injuries & Team News

Victor Letsoalo will surely be recalled in attack after 14 league goals this season. Key central defender Ricardo Nascimento is doubtful with injury.

Wingback Thabo Matlaba is doubtful. Experienced midfielder Lantshene Phalane missed the last match but should return to the matchday squad.

Verdict

Golden Arrows v Royal AM

I am tipping a low scoring match with these teams struggling to score. I am backing this derby to finish in a draw.
