Polokwane City vs AmaZulu: match preview

Polokwane City are currently sitting mid-table and find themselves in a position where they could still challenge for a top-three finish. At the moment, they occupy seventh place with 29 points after 20 rounds. They are five points behind third place, so the race remains open. However, their recent form has been far from convincing, with just one win in their last seven matches. At home, they are on a six-game winless run, which is clearly hurting their ambitions.

AmaZulu have also lacked consistency, recording just one win in their last five matches. However, their away form has been impressive, with four wins and only one defeat in their previous five matches on the road. They currently sit fourth in the table with 34 points after 21 rounds. They are level on points with Sekhukhune, who occupy third place, meaning the battle for that spot is very much alive for AmaZulu.

Probable line-ups

• Polokwane City: Mathebula, Nkwe, Mvundlela, Nikani, Matuludi, Maphangule, Kambala, Mnguni, Ramabu, Tshikweta, Dlamini
• AmaZulu: Mzimela, Mthethwa, Hanamub, Fielies, Radebe, Allan, Hlangabeza, Mhlongo, Maqokola, Ekstein, Kutumela

Prediction

Both teams are fighting for a top-three finish, and I expect a very tight and difficult match. I suggest a bet on the total being under 2 goals.
