Golden Arrows vs Cape Town City Prediction: The home team will not lose

South Africa Premiership week seven encounter at Mpumalanga Stadium will see Golden Arrows play Cape Town City. Last time out, the two teams secured a win. How will they approach this game?

Golden Arrows' last encounter was against Royal AM on the road, and this team secured a hard-fought victory. In a game that ended 2-3, Golden Arrows had to come from behind to take maximum points, thanks to Ryan Moon’s brace and a late-minute Zukile Mkhize’s own goal. However, prior encounters to that win saw this team go five matches winless, losing four and drawing one. This season, the Golden Arrows have scored seven goals and conceded seven. With ten points, this team sits 7th in the South Africa Premiership standings. 

Cape Town City's last encounter was against Polokwane, and they won. In a game that ended 1-0, Cape Town City needed a second-half strike from Thamsanqa Mkhize’s strike to take maximum points. However, prior to that win, this team lost to Cape Town City and Mamelodi Sundowns while drawing Magesi. This season in the league, Cape Town City have eight points from six matches, scoring three goals and conceding seven, as they sit 11th spot. 

Golden Arrows are not favourites at home, but their performances have not been too bad. While looking at the visiting Cape Town City, the road team has not impressed and away from home, I do not see them getting things right. The two teams have not had it easy this season, but I will lean on the home side to take a point, a game where we could expect few goals.
