Durban City vs Golden Arrows: Prediction and odds on the Match on 19 August 2025

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi’s men will face off against the newly promoted Durban City FC at the Chatsworth Stadium in a must-win game on Tuesday. Since promotion, the hosts have recorded back-to-back wins, and they’ll be keen to extend their run against a stubborn Golden Arrows tomorrow afternoon. 

Durban City FC: form and statistics

Gavin Hunt’s men have been up and running since the league began, recording two successive victories. Durban City kicked off their new campaign in great spirits, defeating an established TS Galaxy on the road. Their second game against Chippa United began with Durban pressing high, but they failed to hit a shot on target. They dominated at halftime and restrained Chippa United from having any shot, and maintained the same in the second half. Durban City were patient and after eighty-eight minutes of play, Kamatuka broke the deadlock to hand the hosts the maximum points on their home turf. 

Durban City have picked up six points from their last two games, scoring three without conceding. The hosts currently occupy the top place on the log. 

Gavin Hunt’s men were pretty comfortable on their ground last season in Division Two, and they’ll be keen to keep the same pace in the Betway Premiership.

Durban Lineup

Lwamba started ahead of Kamatuka a few days ago, but it seems the aforementioned will lead the line this time. Gavin Hunt has one of the best forwards in the league, and will have to make the right decision in rotating his squad. 

Durban City Potential Starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Keet—Mhikze, Kock, Ncanana, Maphathe—Jodwana, Poggenpoel—Domingo, Mokwena, Maseko—Kamatuka

Head coach: Gavin Hunt

Golden Arrows FC: form and statistics

Sthende Nation recorded their first breakthrough in the division as they overpowered an inconsistent Richards Bay at home. Golden Arrows, who started the campaign on the losing end, knew they had to improve their game to avoid back-to-back losses. This was their mentality against Richards Bay; unfortunately, they couldn’t dominate the game. Their guests had more of the ball and wanted it more; however, Sede Junior Dion’s goal in the 82nd minute stunned Richards Bay. It was a disappointing display but a pretty decent result as Golden Arrows scored once to amass all the points against a more dominant opposition.

Golden Arrows managed seven wins in the Betway Premiership, picking up thirty-one points from a combined eighty-four. They have picked up three points from their last two games, scoring twice and conceding three times. 

The Green and Yellow sides were the sixth-best away team last season, securing fourteen points from a combined fourteen games last season. 

Golden Arrows Lineup

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi will probably go with the same team that secured them the maximum points against Richards Bay, and they’ll be keen to get it right on the road this time. 

Golden Arrows Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Maova—Phillips, Comara, Ayanda Jiyane, Cele—Shitolo, Diamini—Mthanti, Zwane, Kumalo—Dion

Head Coach: Manqoba Mngqithi

With the acquisition of coach Gavin Hunt, Durban City have been at their best so far, winning back-to-back games and sitting at the top of the log. The balance in their squad allows players to play without interference. Meanwhile, Golden Arrows have been below par this season, even though they secured their first win of the season a few days ago. 

Durban City are a solid side and they’ll start strong against a struggling Golden Arrows later tomorrow. Looking at both teams' recent displays, Durban City are the favourite to amass all the points in front of their home supporters.

If everything goes as planned, Durban City will definitely score before the break, as the last Golden Arrows’ game was so poor. 

My Prediction for this game is Durban City FC to win or draw and score more than once, with a coefficient of 2.30 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My betting tip for this match is Durban City FC to win at a coefficient of 2.22 on the Betway bookmaker.
