On Sat Oct 29th, Tshakhuma will play host to Cape Town City in a clash of these two mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 22 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, 16th placed Tshakhuma, recorded a 0-1 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns. Sphelele Mkhulise scored the first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 28th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Tshakhuma couldn’t manage to score, and Mamelodi Sundowns took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while in their last match, Cape Town City recorded a 2-1 win against Chippa United. Ronaldo Maarman scored the first goal for Chippa United in the 31st minute, then in the 72nd minute, Thabo Nodada sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Khanyisa Mayo But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 84th minute on a goal by Mkhize. Cape Town City is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Cape Town City won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Khanyisa Mayo has been the most effective weapon for Cape Town City lately. The attacker has netted two goals in his last 5 matches. Sibusiso Kumalo and Mahlatse Makudubela are the top scorers for Tshakhuma in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
