In the anticipated clash between Polokwane City and Magesi FC, both teams bring their unique strengths to the field. Polokwane, with a superior historical performance, struggled towards the past season's end and lost their latest match. Magesi, fighting to stay out of the relegation zone, showed resilience with key victories, including an away win against Polokwane. Predictions suggest a likely draw with no goals, maintaining tension in their rivalry. Fans should prepare for a suspenseful match where every point could be critical.

Polokwane City have the better pedigree, but Magesi did win this fixture last season. I am backing this to end in a draw with no goals to show on the day.

Head to Head


Magesi beat Polokwane City 1-0 away from home last season. In the return fixture, Polokwane City won 2-0.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane City enjoyed a fine season in 2024/25, finishing seventh on the table. With eight wins, 10 draws and 10 defeats, they ended on 34 points.

A poor end to their campaign stopped them from pushing up to fifth place as they failed to win any of their last five PSL fixtures, drawing three and losing two.

Last weekend, Polokwane City got their domestic season off to a poor start. They lost 2-0 away to Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 Cup quarterfinal.

Polokwane City signed forward Levy Mashiane from defunct Royal AM. 

Key winger Oswin Appollis has been sold to Orlando Pirates. Influential right back Thabang Matuludi could miss out due to injury. 

Magesi FC Form & Team News


Magesi FC spent most of last season looking over their shoulder at the relegation zone. They managed to avoid it by four points.

They won eight matches, drew seven and lost 13 to end on 31 points. Their last five games of the season saw them draw three, all of which were 1-1, lose one and win one.

Magesi fired coach Owen Da Gama. A dozen players were released at the end of their contracts. 

Key forward Wonderboy Makhubu has returned to his parent club after a strong loan spell.

Verdict

Neither of these sides score many goals, so I am tipping a draw with a 0-0 scoreline.
