Polokwane City vs TS Galaxy Prediction: The guests have a bigger fish to fry

Polokwane City will face off against the Rockets at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday. While the Orange Boys are safe and play for nothing, TS Galaxy have a bigger fish to fry as they hope to play continental football for the first time since 2019.

The Riseandshine Boys have achieved their aim of staying in the premier league after picking up thirty-six points from a combined eighty-seven. They achieved the feat despite just a win over their previous nine games. Polokwane City head here with a stalemate against Kaizer Chiefs on the road, as both teams failed to convert their chances. They have now gone four games without conceding a goal. 

Polokwane City are not doing badly for a side that just won promotion last season, with eight wins, twelve stalemates, and nine defeats. Polokwane City have scored twenty and conceded twenty-seven times this season. The Orange Boys have also won four, drawn six, and lost four at home this season.

The Rockets will be disappointed if they fail to secure the continental ticket this season. They have had a pretty decent season, and this game might just be the most important one in their history. TS Galaxy held Mamelodi Sundowns to a (1-1) share of the spoils on their ground in what happened to be one of their best games of the season against the champions. 

TS Galaxy are eyeing the top-four finish spot and are a point ahead of Supersport United in the fourth spot. TS Galaxy plays one of the best football in the league, picking up forty-four points from a combined eighty-seven. The Rockets will rely solely on their home record to at least end up in the top half of the table this season, as they have managed just two victories on the road this season. 

TS Galaxy have played well this season, but this game will define their chances of playing in the continental championship. At the same time, the Orange Boys are safe and sound in the league but wouldn’t bow without a fight here. 

This is a game where TS Galaxy have to throw all their arsenal on the pitch and get the maximum points. However, football can be unpredictable sometimes. So we are rooting for a win in either half for the visitors, who must win here to cement their spot on the log.

We also expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 2.25.

If the visitors manage to get the first goal, which is likely to happen, we expect this game to end in favor of the Rockets, as there is no coming back from the hosts. 

Good luck!
