TS Galaxy vs Siwelele: Prediction and odds on the Match on 26 August 2025

We are back to Mbombela Stadium where TS Galaxy will play their fourth game of the season against Siwelele. The two teams have had a rough start to the season with just one win respectively. With both sides eager to secure maximum points, we can expect a very close and competitive encounter. How will this one unfold? Below, I give a full game preview and offer predictions. 

TS Galaxy: Form and Statistics

TS Galaxy ended their struggling run of starts to the season with a much-needed win last week against Chippa United. After losing to Sekhukhune United in the quarterfinals of the South Africa MTN 8 Cup, this team could only lose to newly promoted Durban City and Sekhukhune in their first two games of the 2025/2026 league season. 

Meanwhile, they got things right against poor Chippa United, pulling off a 1-4 win away from home. In that encounter, this team needed to come from behind with Puso Dithejane scoring this side’s first goal of the season before completing a hat-trick with two second half goals. Also, Mlungisi Mbunjana also converted his chance from Seluleko Mahlambi’s pass. Ahead of this game, TS Galaxy have now conceded four league goals from three matches while scoring the same numbers as they sit 9th in the standings.

TS Galaxy Team News and Lineup

TS Galaxy will rely on Puso Dithejane brilliance as he is expected to start from the right wing in this game. Also, after struggling in the number nine position, Mpho Mvelase might be replaced by Victor Letsoalo here while Eliezer Ira Tape remains in goal. 

TS Galaxy Expected Eleven

Eliezer Ira Tape, Ndamane, Mahlangu, Letsoenyo, Motaung, Mbunjana, Maduna, Mgaga, Mahlambi, Dithejane, Victor Letsoalo

Siwelele: Form and Statistics

Siwelele started their season on the right track and have since then failed to impress. Since their promotion, this team has not had much positivity but it is worth noting that their game one win over Golden Arrows will serve as hopes and then threat to other teams in terms of what the team could do. Last time out, this team took on a Polokwane side and they ended up losing 0-1 with a first half strike from Keorapetse Sebone being the difference. Heading into this game, Siwelele have failed to net in consecutive encounters, losing to Orbit College in that run. 

Siwelele Team News and Lineup

Siwelele might settle for their 3-5-2 formation that secured a 3-1 win over Golden Arrows after a 4-3-3 formation in their last two games have failed to produce a goal. Siviwe Magidigidi is expected to lead the line with two goals scored this season while Christian Saile provides help alongside him in attack. Meanwhile, Mobbie and Rappo could be instrumental in providing help in defense with this team conceding an average of one goal per game. 

Siwelele Expected Eleven

Ricardo Goss, Nyiko Mobbie, Buhle Mkhwanazi, Siyabonga Ndebele, Neo Rapoo, Ghampani Lungu, Maliele Vicent Pule, Relebogile Mokhuoane, Gape Moralo, Siviwe Magidigidi, Christian Saile
