View all Polokwane City v Cape Town City tips, stats and our pre-match poll below - plus the latest match odds.
Polokwane City head into this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Premier Division tied result against AmaZulu.
Fewer than three goals per game were scored during 5 of the past 6 fixtures where Polokwane City have been involved. Regarding the goal split in that period, opposing sides scored a total of 8 while Polokwane City managed a tally of 5.
Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns in Premier Division action, Cape Town City and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games featuring Cape Town City has become noticeable of late. Looking at their last six meetings shows that this has happened 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal aggregate of 6 while Cape Town City have scored 1. We will have to find out if that trend will be continued on into this next match.
Looking at their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 15/03/2019 tells us that Polokwane City have won 1 of these and Cape Town City 3, with the tally of drawn results standing at 2.
An aggregate of 19 goals were yielded between them in this period, with 8 of them from Polokwane and 11 for Blue and Gold Army. The average goals per game has been 3.17.
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Polokwane City boss Bernard Molekwa to be concerned about due to a largely intact squad. Thabang Matuludi (Knee injury) won’t play.
Out of a mainly full-strength group, there is just a single fitness worry for the Cape Town City manager Benni McCarthy to contend with. Carlinhos (Knee injury) misses out for this game.
We’re of the view that Cape Town City should have enough to breach the defence of this Polokwane City lineup, but it realistically won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.
Our tip is for a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Polokwane City at the end of this one. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
