Marumo Gallants vs Polokwane Prediction: A closely contested encounter ahead

Seisa Ramabodu Stadium will host the South Africa Premiership encounter between Marumo Gallants and Polokwane. The two teams are coming off a defeat. Will there be a winner in this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer predictions.

Marumo Gallants

Marumo Gallants played Mamelodi Sundowns the previous time out and secured a win. In a game that ended 1-3, this team took the lead before the break, thanks to Junior Dion’s strike. In the meantime, poor second-half performance saw them concede three different times. Heading into this game, Marumo Gallants have lost three of their last five, picking wins over AmaZulu and Pretoria Callies. With 15 points from 17 matches, Marumo Gallants are seated 14th in the league standings, scoring 14 goals and conceding 30.

Polokwane

Polokwane's last league game was against Magesi and they won. In a game that ended 0-1, Thabang Sibanyoni's strike in the 20th minute was all their opponent needed to secure maximum points. In the meantime, Polokwane have failed to win their last four matches, losing to Stellenbosch and Richards Bay and drawing with TS Galaxy. This season, Polokwane scored only 14 goals in 18 matches, while conceding 13. In that run, they picked 29 points and sit in 4th place in the standings.
