TS Galaxy FC host Kruger United at Mbombela Stadium this Saturday, looking to convert recent draws into a vital home victory. The Rockets sit ninth in the Premier Soccer League with six points from five games, a record of one win, three draws and one defeat.
Recent form
Their recent form reads DWDLD, with the latest result a goalless draw away to Sekhukhune United on 5 September. Before that, they secured a dramatic 3-2 win at Marumo Gallants, but have struggled for consistency at home, drawing with Golden Arrows and losing narrowly to champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Kruger United arrive in a difficult spell, having lost their last two matches without scoring. They were beaten 4-0 by Orlando Pirates and 2-0 by Durban City, leaving them near the foot of the table. Their only point in the last month came from a 0-0 draw at Marumo Gallants.
Team selection
TS Galaxy's lineup from the Sekhukhune match is expected to provide the core for this fixture. Goalkeeper E. I. Tape was protected by a back four of L. Motaung, V. Zulu, M. Mncwango and E. Khumalo. The midfield trio of N. Nkosi, C. Mdevulana and A. Williams will be tasked with controlling the game, supplying forwards S. George, M. Mvelase and V. Letsoalo.
The challenge ahead
With seven goals scored and seven conceded this season, finding a sharper edge in attack while maintaining defensive solidity is the clear objective. The match kicks off at 15:30 UTC on Saturday, 13 September.
