Polokwane City vs Golden Arrows Predictions


I can’t separate these teams so I am tipping a draw. A game with Under 2.5 goals is likely so a 1-1 correct score bet offers great value.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane ended last term on a run of six matches without victory. Their six matches this season across all competitions have seen just two goals scored.

The league campaign began with a 0-0 home draw vs Magesi. A late 1-0 loss at Kaizer Chiefs and a key 1-0 away win at Siwelele followed. A 0-0 home draw vs Durban City was a steady point. 

Their last match saw a 1-1 draw at Marumo Gallants. Rise and Shine came from a goal down to rescue a valuable point on the road. 

There is still no sign of key right back Thabang Matuludi after a long-term injury. Playmaker Puleng Marema assisted the goal vs Marumo and is pushing to start. 

Ndamulelo Maphangule and Manuel Kambala complete a fierce midfield duo. 

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


Bwire; Manthosi, Nkaki, Mvundlela, Motsa; Kambala, Maphangule; Ramabu, Marema, Dlamini; Tshabalala. 

Golden Arrows Form & Team News


Arrows ended last season in dire form with one win in their last ten matches (five defeats). The 2025-26 season has begun with seven points in five matches.

An opening day 3-1 defeat at Siwelele preceded a 1-0 home victory over Richards Bay. They were lucky to take a 1-1 draw at Durban City as they allowed 15 shots.

A 2-1 home win over Magesi saw an injury-time winner scored. A 1-0 loss at Kaizer Chiefs in their last match saw Arrows allow 21 shots. 

Themba Mantshiyane was dropped for the last match. Nyandoyenkosi Mabaso is pushing to play at left back once again. 

Sede Junior Dion will be crucial up front and has scored three league goals up to this point.

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup


Ngcobo; Phillips, Komara, Shitolo, Mantshiyane; Zwane, Dlamini; Ndlovu, Maxwele, Sithole; Dion.

Verdict

Arrows have a good record in this fixture so I see them taking a point. I'm backing a 1-1 draw.
