Date: Polokwane City v Maritzburg United
Teams: 08 December 2019
Venue: New Peter Mokaba Stadium
Polokwane City will be aiming to get back on the winning trail when they host Maritzburg United in the Absa Premiership on Sunday afternoon at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Rise and Shine's good start to the season is a thing of the past as last week's 1-0 loss to Bloemfontein Celtic extended the winless streak to seven matches.
Meanwhile, the Team of Choice are winless in their last four league matches, the last of which was a goalless draw with AmaZulu last Sunday.
Despite reaching the Telkom Knockout final, Eric Tinkler's charges are in danger of being dragged to the relegation scrape as they sit 11th on the log, just a point above the relegation play-off spot.
The KwaZulu-Natal outfit will be without influential goalkeeper Richard Ofori due to suspension, while Rise and Shine will be without the services of the suspended Puleng Tlolane.
