Siwelele and Polokwane City meet in the league with neither having won any of their last five, but the paths that brought them here are clearly different. Siwelele have just drawn 1-1 at home after conceding three in the match before that, while Polokwane City have just lost 0-1 at home, closing with a tight game they could not finish. The hosts score a bit but their defence leaks badly, having already conceded 13 goals in 7 matches. The recent 1-1 draw is one of the few games they stayed the full match without conceding more than one. The goals they concede are clustered in the second half, more than half of them. Polokwane City, meanwhile, collect points more steadily with as many as four draws from seven. Their defence does not fall apart easily, but their attack is not sharp either, scoring just 8 goals all season. This looks like a game where the hosts will have more of the ball and try to push up, but Polokwane City are good at sitting deep and waiting for the counter. If Siwelele score first, the game will open up and Polokwane City will have to come out and trade, which is the moment the game could change face. But if the first half ends goalless or level, the game will become even more stifled and finish as a draw or with only a one-goal margin.
