On Saturday Aug 13th, Tshakhuma will play host to Golden Arrows in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, a perfect day for football. Tshakhuma is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Richards Bay. Neither Richards Bay nor Tshakhuma could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 6 and 4 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while 15th placed Golden Arrows is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Richards Bay. Somila Ntsundwana scored the first goal for Richards Bay in the 28th minute, then Abel Mabaso added another in the 71st minute In the end, Golden Arrows couldn’t muster any offence and Richards Bay ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Golden Arrows won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Sibiya has been the most effective weapon for Golden Arrows lately. The midfielder has netted two goals in his last five matches. Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo and Sibusiso Sibeko 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.
