Cape Town City vs Polokwane Prediction: Polokwane will not lose this game

At Athlone Stadium, Cape Town City will play Polokwane in round 8 of the South Africa Premier League. Both teams faced defeat in their last league encounter. How will they approach this game?

Cape Town City's last encounter was against Richards Bay, and they lost. In a quarterfinal encounter of the Carling Cup, this team settled for a goalless draw at the end of full time but lost 5-4 on penalties. However, Cape Town City failed to win any of their last three matches, losing to Mamelodi Sundowns while drawing Magesi. In the league this season, Cape Town City have five points from five games, leaving them seated in the 14th spot. 

Polokwane's last league encounter was against Mamelodi Sundowns, and they lost. In that game, Polokwane conceded in each half, with Kuklwano Lethlaku netting twice for Mamelodi. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw Polokwane win over Royal AM and Mamelodi Sundowns in the league. Heading into this game, Polokwane have 13 points from their first seven games. In those matches, Polokwane scored seven goals while conceding seven. 

The visiting Polokwane have my backing in this game, considering how they have competed this season. While Cape Town City have lost consecutive matches, expecting any serious play from them is difficult. I expect goals like their past meetings in this game as the two teams come out for a win. Yet, the visiting team is doing better and will take maximum points.
