Matchday 11 sees Polokwane City out to maintain their impressive home run in the Betway Premiership when they welcome Richards Bay at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium. Polokwane are in sixth place in the league standings, while Richards Bay are in 11th place. Check out our match prediction.
Polokwane City's recent 1-0 loss away to Orlando Pirates marked their third defeat in ten league games this season. At the end of the day, that result was deserved considering they managed just 35% of ball possession and produced 0.23 expected goals (xG).
Phuti Mohafe's men will aim to return to winning ways and are likely to capitalize on their home advantage. The Old Peter Mokaba Stadium has been their stronghold.
They have avoided defeat in their last five matches and are tied in second for the best home record. It's worth mentioning that they head into this clash boasting a three-match winning streak.
Richards Bay saw off the threat of Durban City in the quarter-final of the Telkom Knockout. After a 1-1 draw in regular time, the team managed to score two more goals in extra time to secure a 3-1 home victory. They face Orlando Pirates in the semi-final.
The Natal Rich Boys now shift their focus to the Betway Premiership. Their last outing was a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Orbit College.
That result marked their second consecutive league defeat.
