Mabhuti Khenyaza men began their DSTV Premier League journey with a (1-1) stalemate against Moroka Swallows. Golden Arrows fought great when they defeated Richards Bay away from home. More recently, they became the first team to concede four times without scoring in the division. They were overwhelmed by Mamelodi Sundowns as the home team scored three goals at the break and extended it in the 48th minute.

Golden Arrows will be motivated to go all out against their opponents, who have been below average since the season commenced.

The home side sit in a strange position on the log after their first three games, occupying the 4th spot on the standing. Polokwane City, who returned to the Premier League after picking up fifty-seven points from a total of ninety in Division Two, have been up and running. Polokwane City have won back-to-back following their opening-day defeat to Cape Town City.

Polokwane City have shown grit and determination since the season began, and we expect them to give us a great game here.

Over their previous sixteen previous meetings, Polokwane City have won three, while Golden Arrows have recorded eight victories and five games ending in a share of the spoils. Golden Arrows head into this encounter following their poor performance against Mamelodi Sundowns, which saw them concede four goals. Before then, they had been doing pretty well, winning once while sharing the spoils once. On the other hand, Polokwane City have won back-to-back against similar opponents. The home side can’t afford to lose back-to-back, and considering they have an excellent record against their opponent, we expect them to win either half for 1.78.

We are definitely going to see BTTS here for 2.09.

We expect the home side to win and score more than once for 2.70.

Good luck!
