In the upcoming encounter between Magesi and Polokwane City, a draw is on the cards, with predictions highlighting a 1-1 final score. Magesi, unable to secure a win in their last nine matches, are in relegation peril. Meanwhile, Polokwane have become draw specialists, remaining unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 encounters with Magesi. With Magesi struggling to find form and Polokwane's resilience in drawing matches, a stalemate appears inevitable.

Magesi vs Polokwane City Predictions


Polokwane are hard to beat and I see them taking a point here. I’m tipping a 1-1 draw.

Key Stats – All Signs Point to Stalemate


  • Magesi are winless in their last 9 matches.
  • Magesi have drawn 3 of their last 6 PSL matches.
  • Polokwane City have drawn 4 of their last 7 PSL matches.
  • Polokwane are undefeated in 4 of their 5 matches vs Magesi. 

Head to Head – Polokwane Hold Advantage


Polokwane hold a 3-1 lead over Magesi across five clashes with one draw. 

They last met in August 2026 as it finished in a 0-0 draw. 

Winless in Nine Matches – Magesi In Relegation Danger


Magesi are winless in nine matches in all competitions. They sit bottom of the PSL table and are three points from safety. 

After two league draws, they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Sekhukhune United. A 2-0 defeat away to 
Orlando Pirates was followed by a defeat on penalties after drawing 0-0 in the Nedbank Cup vs Upington City. 

A 2-0 home loss to Golden Arrows saw Magesi put up 17 shots. With new coach Allan Freese in charge, they fought hard for a 1-1 draw away at Stellenbosch having trailed 1-0.

One Loss in Seven – Polokwane Are Draw Specialists


Polokwane have lost just once in their last seven league matches (four draws, two wins). They sit seventh in the PSL table but it’s four losses in eight away PSL fixtures with just five goals scored.

A 2-1 win at Stellenbosch before the AFCON break was followed by a 1-0 loss at Durban City. A late goal conceded saw a 2-2 home draw vs struggling Orbit College. 

Polokwane were outshot 27-11 with ten men in a 2-1 home loss to AmaZulu in the Nedbank Cup. Their last match saw a dull 0-0 home draw vs Siwelele.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Magesi (4-5-1): Chipezeze; Ndlozi, Buthelezi, Makgopa, J. Mokone; Raphadu, Darpoh, Mtshali, Vandala, Chirambadare; Sibanyoni. 

Kgomotso Mosadi is suspended in attack. Fellow forward Thabang Sibanyoni is an injury doubt. 

Siyabonga Ndlozi is set to play at right back after his arrival on loan from Orlando Pirates. Delano Abrahams is out injured at fullback. 

Polokwane City (4-2-3-1): Mathebula; Matuludi, Mvundlela, Nkaki, Nkwe; Kambala, Maphangule; Sebone, Mnguni, Tshabalala; Tshikweta.

Lindokuhle Mathebula could start in goal once again. Brian Bwire may have to settle for a place on the bench. 

Mpho Mvundlela may keep his place in defence. Thabelo Tshikweta will lead the line after three goals in his first six outings for the club. 

Verdict

I'm backing a draw in this one.
