Polokwane City
Marumo Gallants
One of the matches of the 10th round of the South African Premier League will take place on Sunday at the Peterborough Stadium, where Polokwane City will host Marumo Gallants. I suggest betting on the match outcome with a good odds value.
Match Preview
Polokwane City made an excellent start to the new South African Premier League season, but in the recent rounds, the club has suffered two losses and one draw. This has affected their position in the standings. The team has dropped from second to third place and is now four points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, though it is important to note that Polokwane has played two matches fewer than their rivals.
In the last round, Polokwane City played at home against Kaizer Chiefs and won 2-0. Overall, the team has recorded five wins and three losses in their ten matches so far.
Marumo Gallants, in contrast, are newcomers to the top division and are currently in 10th place in the league standings. While their early performances were not impressive, their results have improved as the season progressed.
In the last five rounds, Marumo Gallants have won three matches, with just one loss. Most recently, they defeated Magentsi 3-1 at home, and earlier, they won 1-0 away against SuperSport United.
