The early kickoff on Sunday in the PSL will see Cape Town City taking on TS Galaxy at the Cape Town Stadium. The hosts are currently in seventh place in the league standings, while the visitors are fifth. After a very strong first half of the season, Cape Town City have struggled mightily since the turn of the year and have been steadily slipping in the rankings. They finally managed to bring an end to a ten-match winless run, which included four losses and six draws, last week when they beat Moroka Swallows 2-0 at home. That result took them to 38 points after 27 games, 11 points behind the top three with just three games left to play in the season. At home, the Citizens have a record of five wins, four draws and four losses in 13 matches this season, though they have only won one of their last eight and failed to score in five matches during that period. While these teams played to a goalless draw in the reverse fixture, Cape Town City are unbeaten in their last five matches against this opponent (W3 D2 L0), and are the favourites in this one, accrording to the bookmakers. 

Meanwhile, TS Galaxy returned from the break for the Africa Cup of Nations at the start of the year in fine form, winning four of their first six and suffering only one defeat in that time. However, that momentum has begun to slow as they enter this match with just one win in their last five games, including a 2-2 draw away to Kaizer Chiefs in their last match. Galaxy will likely feel that they should have got more against AmaKhosi, who played the entire second half with ten men following Edmilson Dove’s sending-off just before the half-time interval, and they were then reduced to nine men for the final five minutes after Brandon Petersen was shown red in the closing stages. The Rockets have accumulated two wins, four draws, and seven losses in their league matches on the road this season. They are currently on a three-match winless streak away from home, with their last away victory coming on April 6 against SuperSport United.
