Polokwane City and Marumo Gallants are set to clash at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on matchday 29 of the Betway Premiership. The visitors have been a difficult side to beat lately and enter this match aiming to avoid defeat. Given how closely contested this clash will be, a draw prediction is firmly on the cards.
Polokwane City enter the penultimate match in the 2025-26 Betway Premiership season sitting in sixth place with 39 points, looking to strengthen their grip on a top-half finish.
In their recent match, Rise and Shine rescued a point in a goalless draw away to Lamontville Golden Arrows. It was a valuable point away from home, considering they had to play the remaining 60 minutes with ten men on the field after Tholo Matuludi's straight red card in the 30th minute.
From a less positive angle, though, they have gone four league games without a win (D2, L2).
Marumo Gallants are currently sitting 15th in the relegation playoff position. With 23 points accumulated, they are one adrift of safety and two ahead of the relegation zone.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's league form has been erratic. They are winless in their last eight games, recording five draws and three losses.
A 1-1 home draw against Richards Bay last time out marked their fifth consecutive league draw. While this highlights their resilience, their survival hopes hinge on turning these draws into much-needed wins.
