Polokwane City vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction: Level on points and everything to play for

It has been a challenging time for both camps. Kaizer Chiefs won the last time out and they will be hoping to make it two wins in a row. Polokwane City have not won a match in their last five fixtures, they have three draws and two losses. Both teams are level on points and have a lot to play for.  

 Here are markets to consider adding to your bet slip…

Polokwane City vs Kaizer Chiefs - Match Odds 

It is a tale of two teams that have struggled in the DSTV Premiership this season. Both for form and for goals. Polokwane City come into this match in the worst possible form, 3 wins in their last nine and not a single win in their last five. They lost 3-0 last time out against TS Galaxy. Coach Bernard Molekwa knows how pivotal a win in this game can prove to be for his team. Especially considering that Kaizer Chiefs themselves are a shadow of what they used to be. 

Kaizer Chiefs in recent times has not been the team they are famously known to be. They have registered just 3 wins in their last nine matches. They had a string for three losses in a row in all competitions. However, they were able to pick up all three points against Swallows last time out and they will be hoping that they can build on that result with another win against Polokwane city.  

The odds on a home win for Polokwane City are currently set at 23/10 and 67/50 for an away Kaizer Chiefs win. The draw’s odds are currently set at 37/20. Whichever way this game goes, both these teams need a result out of this one. Expect a bitter fight to the end. 

Double Chance – Home or Draw 49/100

Both teams are sitting on 17 points in the DSTV Premiership only separated by goal difference. The away side Kaizer Chiefs have struggled away from home this season. Only Managing 2 wins on the road and 4 losses from 6 matches. Their goal difference on the road is no better, they have conceded 6 goals and only scored 5 leaving them on a goal difference of -1.

At home Polokwane City have been decent registering 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. Polokwane City are not prolific in front of goal and if anything, they will commit to playing a tight game from the beginning. Expect a tight encounter with a draw or a very slender victory for one of these sides. I’d recommend the double chance for anyone who has their doubts about an outright winner for this fixture. Odds on Home or Draw are set at 49/100. 

Both Teams to Score – No 71/100 

In a fixture of this nature both teams have struggled to find consistent form and the back of the net. You can expect them to play like their backs are against the wall. At this point we would point to the sides' most prolific strikers, wingers, and midfields. However, neither side has a serial goals scorer on their side. Kaizer Chief’s leading goal scorer this season is Pole Modi, he has 3 goals in 11 appearances. Castillo and Saile are also sitting on 3 goals for the season from 13 appearances. It fair to say that there is proven goal scorer in the side. The same can be said for Polokwane City whose top goal scorer is Douglas Mapfumo with 2 goals and 9 appearances. 

The statistics paint a picture of two teams who are proficient at creating goal scoring opportunities. That is why we have gone with both teams to score no 71/100. If there is a goal in this game, it will be the only one.
