Sunday’s PSL action will draw to a close, with Royal AM taking on Cape Town City at the Harry Gwala Stadium. The hosts are currently in 13th place in the league standings, while the visitors are third. After securing promotion to the top flight last season, Royal AM have done well to remain clear of the drop so far. They are on 22 points after 18 league games, eight points clear of Richards Bay in the relegation playoff place. In addition, with the bottom half of the table still being very compact, Thwihli Thwahla trail eighth-placed TS Galaxy by just two points. The hosts lost their last league game 1-0 to Sekhukhune United, which followed a 2-1 win over the Natal Rich Boys a week earlier. However, that defeat also marked Royal’s fourth game in the last five where they have failed to find the net. At home, AM are unbeaten in their last four games, including two wins and two draws, and they have taken 11 points from a possible 24 to date. The hosts lost the reverse fixture 2-0 back in November and are the clear underdogs in this one.
Meanwhile, Cape Town City head into this match in a bit of a slump and need to return to winning ways to keep the pressure on the sides around them. They were beaten 1-0 by cross-town rivals Stellenbosch last week, which saw them slip to third place with 31 points after 19 matches. Stellies are second and have a game in hand. That defeat also marked City’s fourth match without victory across all competitions. During that time, they were also dumped out of the Nedbank Cup by Supersport United. In away games this season, the Citizens have taken a total of 17 points from a possible 33, though they have only lost one of their last five while winning three and drawing the other. The visitors have been the superior side in this fixture in recent times and are unbeaten against this opponent in their last five meetings, including four wins and a draw.
