Polokwane City Form & Team News
Polokwane’s last 13 matches in all competitions have yielded just one win. They have lost seven of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions.
After an eight-match unbeaten run, they beat Richards Bay 3-1 at home. A 1-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates was followed by a 2-0 loss at Sekhukhune United.
Polokwane City’s last two matches have ended in draws. A 1-1 home stalemate versus SuperSport United was followed by a 1-1 draw at AmaZulu as they had 15 shots and produced 2.00 xG.
Coach Phuti Mohafe could be without two of his key players. Right back Thabang Matuludi and winger Oswin Appollis are struggling with injuries.
Two strikers in Hlayisi Chauke and Douglas Mapfumo are ruled out. Puleng Marema is another doubt in the attack.
Polokwane City Predicted Lineup
Bwire; Manthosi, Nikani, Nkaki, Ndlovu; Kambala, Maphangule; Ramabu, Letshedi, Nana; Dlamini.
Cape Town City Form & Team News
City are winless in 14 matches and look headed for the relegation playoffs. They have scored just four goals in their long winless streak.
A 1-0 home loss vs Marumo Gallants saw the club sack coach Muhsin Ertugral. A 0-0 draw at SuperSport United and a 2-1 home loss to Sekhukhune United followed.
A 1-0 loss at Richards Bay was a damaging defeat in the relegation battle. Last time out, City were outclassed in a 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns as they were outshot 15-3.
Interim coach Diogo Peral could have Jody Ah Shene available. The young striker has returned from the under-20 AFCON.
Veteran midfielder Kamohelo Mokotjo has been released. We could see an attacking approach as this is a must-win match.
Cape Town City Predicted Lineup
Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Fasika, Nyama; Amato, Petrus; Rhodes, Makaringe, Gonzalez; Ah Shene.
Verdict
I see a home win with City's scoring woes continuing.
