Polokwane City vs Kaizer Chiefs Predictions

The hosts are having a dip of late and have lost their coach. Chiefs need a win and could have enough to eke one out. I’m tipping a low scoring affair with Amakhosi to nick the victory.

Polokwane City have lost 2 of their last 4 matches.
Polokwane City have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches.
Kaizer Chiefs have seen Under 1.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches.
Kaizer Chiefs have won 2 of their last 3 PSL matches.

Head to Head

Kaizer Chiefs hold a 9-3 advantage over Polokwane City across 18 meetings with six draws.

Chiefs won 3-2 when the teams last met in August 2020.

Polokwane City Form & Team News

Polokwane are winless in five matches in all competitions. They have dropped down to 10th in the PSL table.

A determined 1-1 draw at Orlando Pirates made it six unbeaten. A 2-0 home loss in the Carling Knockout Cup against Stellenbosch was a disappointment.

Successive home draws followed: 1-1 vs SuperSport United and 0-0 vs Moroka Swallows. Their last match saw a 3-0 humbling away to TS Galaxy.

Caretaker coach Phuti Mohafe has an injury doubt over Ndumiso Mabena up front. Puleng Marema could replace him after returning from injury.

The team may be unchanged despite a 3-0 defeat last time out.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup

Sapunga; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Ndlovu; Ramabu, Maphangule, Mashikinya, Appollis; Marema, Mapfumo.

Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News

Amakhosi have lost six of their last nine matches in all competitions. In the league, two wins in the last three have seen Chiefs jump to eighth in the PSL table.

After three losses on the bounce, Chiefs beat bottom-placed Cape Town Spurs 3-2 at home. A 1-0 home defeat to Orlando Pirates followed prior to the international break.

Amakhosi’s last match brought a 1-0 win at Moroka Swallows. Christian Saile grabbed an 82nd minute winner to seal all three points.

Caretaker coach Cavin Johnson will hope to have striker Ashley Du Preez back from injury. Bruce Bvuma is set to start in goal with Itumeleng Khune suspended internally.

Edmilson Dove is expected to be preferred to Thatayaone Ditlhokwe at centre back. Edson Castillo will return to the XI in midfield.

Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup

Bvuma; Frosler, Msimango, Dove, Hlanti; Maart, Mthethwa, Castillo; Saile, Chivaviro, Mmodi.

Verdict

Polokwane City v Kaizer Chiefs

I see a tight game being played out. Chiefs have enough to nick a 1-0 win in a fixture where one or fewer goals is tipped.
