SuperSport United and Polokwane City were among the big winners in the Betway Premiership last weekend, overcoming Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns respectively. However, their true character will be tested tonight as they visit Golden Arrows and Royal AM at the Mpumalanga Stadium and Harry Gwala Stadium.
Golden Arrows are wounded and seeking to return to the winning trail after losing 2-0 to Chippa United away from home on Saturday. With a lukewarm start, which has seen them register just two wins alongside three losses, Arrows coach Mabhuti Khenyeza understands that they cannot leave any stone unturned going forward.
Early points accumulation will be paramount as it proved beneficial last season, helping them avoid relegation after a poor second half of the term.
On paper, Arrows possess a balanced squad, including experienced campaigners such as attackers Knox Mutizwa, Nduduzo Sibiya, Ryan Moon, and Kagiso Malinga. This quartet and their teammates must bring their scoring boots against SuperSport, who were solid defensively against Chiefs, with goalkeeper Thakasani Mbanjwa earning the Player of the Match accolade.
