TS Galaxy vs Royal AM Prediction: Expect goals from both sides

This round 26 match of the South African Premier League will take place at Mbombela Stadium and feature TS Galaxy taking on Royal AM. The home squad has already lost three straight league matches, while the away team, Royal AM, is coming off a victory over Stellenbosch in their most recent league match. 

TS Galaxy had a winning record of two games against AmaZulu and Richards Bay and a losing record of two games to Maritzburg United and SuperSport United, with one game against Marumo Gallants FC ending in a tie. TS Galaxy was only able to score seven goals while giving up five in those matches. During the course of the current league season, TS Galaxy has scored an average of 0.8 goals per game. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team was given 36 yellow cards and one red card, totaling 6.20 fouls over the course of all of the matches that they have participated in. TS Galaxy has some sort of problem with not being able to hold possession of the ball, as evidenced by their season-long average of 49.47% possession.

Royal AM comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Sekhukhune United and Stellenbosch, lost two of those matches against Mamelodi Sundowns and Marumo Gallants FC, and drawn AmaZulu. The away club only managed to score eight goals while giving up a total of ten in that span. When playing away from home, Royal AM averaged 1.2 goals scored per contest while allowing 1.52 goals against. The team was shown 42 caution cards, including one for a red card, and they committed 192 fouls overall. The Royal AM team has a very strong hold on the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 52.24% throughout this season.

Only three times in recent history have TS Galaxy and Royal AM competed against one another, and Royal AM came out on top twice. However, one of the games was decided by a draw. The head-to-head matchups between TS Galaxy and Royal AM resulted in TS Galaxy scoring 3 goals and Royal AM scoring 8 goals.

Due to the fact that they are not playing at their best, we anticipate that both teams will score here. On the other hand, the host team in Royal AM has failed to win each of their last three matches, and as a result, we anticipate at least a draw for Royal AM in this matchup.
