TS Galaxy FC face a critical away test against Polokwane City this Saturday as they urgently seek to end a damaging four-match losing streak. The match at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium kicks off at 18:00 local time and represents the club's next chance to reverse a slide that has seen them drop to 13th in the Premier Soccer League, a position they hold with just six points from eight games, comprising one win and three draws.
The loss to Chiefs on Tuesday saw the team concede three times in an 18-minute second-half spell, a collapse that has intensified the need for a response. That 3-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday 27 October followed a 3-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates on Tuesday 13 October, part of a run of four consecutive losses where they have failed to score. Striker Letsoalo, the team's top scorer with four goals this season, will be a key figure if Galaxy are to find the attacking threat they have lacked, especially as the team has managed only seven goals all season while conceding twelve.
Polokwane City, sitting 11th, offer a potential opportunity. Their own recent form shows vulnerability, with a draw and a narrow loss in their last two outings. Galaxy's last starting lineup included the likes of I. Tapé in goal and Lennol Mathebula in defence, and similar personnel will be tasked with providing a much sturdier platform.
Another defeat would see Galaxy risk being cut adrift in the lower reaches of the standings. With 17 points already separating them from leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, the immediate focus is purely on arresting the slide.
