Cape Town Spurs vs Polokwane prediction 30.04.2024

• Competition: South Africa - Premier League
• Date: Tuesday, 30th April 2024
• Kickoff: 18:30 UTC +1 / 19:30 CEST
• Venue: Athlone Stadium (Cape Town)

Cape Town Spurs are at the bottom of the South African national league with 15 points from 25 league matches. Despite their struggles, they remain within striking distance of the relegation playoff spot, a mere five points away. As usual, Cape Town struggled recently, going six games without a win in a row until the last round, when they won 1-0 at home against Richards Bay. In a hard-fought battle, victory seemed uncertain until a late breakthrough in the second half secured a crucial 1-0 win for the home side.

With only five games left in the season, Polokwane should feel safe with their ten points more than the relegation playoff position. However, recent months have been worrying for Phuti Mohafe's squad, with just one victory in their last nine outings across all competitions. In the previous game, Polokwane lost 5-0 on the road against Stellenbosch. In one of the worst matches of the season, guests were outplayed in almost every segment. 

Cape Town Spurs vs Polokwane pick: Under 2.5 goals

With 18 goals in 25 league rounds, Richards Bay is the only worse attacking team than Cape Town Spurs and Polokwane, who scored one goal more. Under 2.5 goals should be the safest bet for this tie.
