Relegation-threatened Polokwane City take on Highlands Park at Loftus in the PSL on Saturday afternoon. City are in a relegation dogfight, while Highlands Park are stuck in a patch of poor form.

Polokwane City Form & News

Before the lockdown-enforced break, City were beaten 1-0 by Maritzburg United.

Polokwane City will welcome back Puleng Tlolane after suspension in attack. At the back, they are still missing a long-term injury victim in Sibusiso Mbonani.

Highlands Park Form & News


Highlands Park are unbeaten since the restart. They kicked things off with a 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns, before playing out a 0-0 stalemate with Chippa United.

Before the lockdown break, Highlands Park went three league fixtures without a victory, which included a 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup quarter final.

Highlands Park have a doubt over Ricardo Williams at left back and Tendai Ndoro left the club before the restart in attack.

Both sides have won two games each in seven meetings, with three draws.

Polokwane City vs Highlands Park Odds


Polokwane City are available at 2.63 to pick up the three points, while Highlands Park are priced at 2.50 to do the same. The draw pays 3.00.

Polokwane City need points if they are to survive relegation, so they will be cagey in their approach. Highlands Park have no relegation fears, but their form has been rotten of late, meaning they will look to go back to basics, which is likely to make for a dull match.
