TS Galaxy vs Maritzburg United Predictions

TS Galaxy are playing some lovely football in a 3-5-2 formation under Owen Da Gama. Maritzburg are improving but I am tipping Galaxy to make it nine matches unbeaten with another home victory against goal-shy opponents.

TS Galaxy have won 5 of their last 8 matches (3 draws)(Premier Soccer League).
TS Galaxy have won their last 3 home matches (Premier Soccer League).
Maritzburg United have seen under 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 9 matches (Premier Soccer League).
Maritzburg United have lost 6 of their last 9 away matches (Premier Soccer League).
Maritzburg United have failed to score in 3 of their last 6 away matches (Premier Soccer League).

Head to Head

These sides have met just once before as TS Galaxy won 3-0 at Maritzburg United in January.

TS Galaxy Form

Since the appointment of new coach Owen Da Gama, TS Galaxy have gone from bottom of the PSL table to seventh place. They have taken 18 points from eight matches with five wins and three draws.

The new coach oversaw two 3-0 victories in his first three matches before a 1-1 draw at Chippa United and a 1-0 home win against Bloemfontein Celtic. A 2-1 victory against Swallows and a 0-0 draw at SuperSport United followed.

In their last match, TS Galaxy beat Black Leopards 3-1 at home but led 3-0 within the first half.

TS Galaxy Injuries & Team News

Galaxy will be missing winger Sphiwe Mahlangu due to suspension after a red card. Wayde Lekay returned to start the last match and should partner Mxolisi Macuphu up front.

Luckyboy Mokoena has been carrying a knock at wingback so may miss out whilst Shaune Mogaila is touch and go in attack. Masilake Phohlongo scored from the bench in the last match and should start at left wingback.

Maritzburg United Form

Maritzburg United have shown improvement of late but still sit two points from safety in 15th position in the Premier Soccer League table.

After four league defeats in a row, Maritzburg lost 3-1 in the Nedbank Cup at home to Orlando Pirates. A deserved 1-0 win at home against Black Leopards followed before a 1-1 draw at Bloemfontein Celtic.

They drew 1-1 at home against Kaizer Chiefs in their last match having led 1-0 going into the final stages of the match. Thabiso Kutumela scored for Maritzburg.

Maritzburg United Injuries & Team News

Coach Ernst Middendorp remains without top centre back Clayton Daniels due to suspension.

Travis Graham is doubtful in central midfield but Phumlani Ntshangase returned from long-term injury in that department against Chiefs and could feature again.
