Marumo Gallants vs Golden Arrows FC Prediction: The guests stand a better chance of securing the maximum points

Marumo Gallants vs Golden Arrows FC: Prediction for the Match on April 19, 2025

On Saturday, Marumo Gallants will face off against Golden Arrows FC at DR Molemela Stadium in an attempt to extend their three consecutive matches without a loss in the Betway Premier League. The home team have a mountain to climb when they host Golden Arrows tomorrow, as they have to be at their best to break the jinx of seven consecutive meetings without a breakthrough. 

For the home side, a win is vital in their pursuit of remaining in the division, while the guests must secure the maximum points to stand a chance of finishing in the top half of the standings.

Last five games: LLWWD

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's side settled for a share of the spoils on their ground against Supersport United, as they were outplayed by their guests. Marumo marched into the game with the aim of extending their back-to-back Betway Premiership wins, but they were lucky to have walked away with a point at least. The game kicked off with the guests asking lots of questions, and just before the break, they pulled the first blood. Abdeslam Ouaddou’s men came up with different momentum after the break to get an equalizer. Since then, none of the teams have been threatening enough to find the winner as they both shared the spoils. Before the game, Marumo Gallants had won back-to-back matches against TS Galaxy and Cape Town City. 

Maurmo Gallants have picked up twenty-six points from a combined seventy-two, scoring twenty-one and conceding thirty-five times. 

This season, Marumo Gallants have won four games, shared the spoils four times, and lost four games on their home turf. 

Marumo Gallants: Lineup

The hosts are a very strong team when they want to be, and they operate as a more balanced team. They can defend well and also punish their opponent on counters.

Last five games: DWLWD

Manqoba Mngqithi’s men head here with a share of the spoils against Chippa United at home. It was a disappointing display from Golden Arrows, who needed all the points but later bowed to a stalemate. The game, which they dominated, lacked a spark in any of the halves, as they managed just two shots on target in the entire ninety minutes. This doesn’t reflect their performance against Kaizer Chiefs at home, where they dominated and secured a (2-1) victory over such a formidable opponent. 

Despite their struggle lately, the guests have suffered just one defeat in their last five matches in the league. Golden Arrows have picked up twenty-eight points from a combined sixty-three, scoring seventeen and conceding twenty-one. 

Golden Arrows have won four, lost five and drawn twice on the road this campaign.

Golden Arrows: Lineup

Since the arrival of former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Golden Arrows have operated in a (4-2-3-1) formation, giving them the license to quickly transition from defense to attack. However, it hasn’t been a smooth sail for them, considering the level of their opponents in recent games. 

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

Edward Maova—Ayubulela Maxwele, Themba Mantshiyane, Gladwin Shitolo, Sbonelo Cele—Thabani Zuke, Velemseni Ndwandwe—Nduduzo Sibiya, Savi Gumbi, Siyanda Mthanti—Knox Mutizwa

Head Coach: Manqoba Mngqithi

Marumo Gallants vs Golden Arrows FC: Prediction for the Match on April 19, 2025

Marumo Gallants have been struggling on their ground lately, although we also have to consider the level of their opponents. Daniel Malesela's men’s last four home games have been against top teams like Orlando Pirates, Stellenbosch, Supersport United, and Sekhukhune United. They’ll face off against a Golden Arrows side with a solid team and an experienced coach. 

This game will be played with so much pressure on the home side as they’ll have to be at their very best to break the jinx of seven games without a breakthrough against Golden Arrows. Statistics of this magnitude can’t be swept under the carpet, and even though there are no suggestions the guests will win this game, I’ll at least back them to secure a point just because of their decent record against Marumo Gallants; bet on away win or draw and BTTS for 3.01 at (1xbet).

The hosts have not recorded a win in their last three home games, and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond against Golden Arrows. Over the week, they were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, and I think most of their players will be jaded for this encounter; I’ll try my luck with Golden Arrows to win either half for 2.01 at (Betway).

Marumo Gallants won’t bow without a fight, as I expect them to at least find the back of the net; bet on BTTS for 1.94 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
