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.
