Maritzburg v Royal AM: The Teams Are In

Royal AM will be aiming to secure their second consecutive win in the DStv Premiership when they travel to Maritzburg United on Sunday evening.

The Thwihli Thwahla will be looking to climb into the top eight of the log table with a win at the Harry Gwala Stadium.

Royal AM secured their first win since the restart last Sunday, with a 2-0 victory over AmaZulu thanks to goals from Motebang Sera and Mxolisi Macuphu.

The result saw them move up to ninth on the table, and a win on Sunday could see them leapfrog Orlando Pirates in fifth place. Maritzburg United, meanwhile, also got their first win under new head coach Fadlu Davids after edging Marumo Gallants 1-0 last Saturday.

Despite the win, the Team of Choice remain at the bottom of the table, three points away from 14th-placed Swallows. The two sides met in the first round of the season, with Royal AM edging Maritzburg United 1-0 at the Chatsworth Stadium.

Maritzburg United will be looking to turn things around on Sunday, and will line up with Learner in goal, Makume, De Goede, Moloisane and Graham in defence, Jooste, Human, Bhengu, Njoti, Soukouna and Karim in midfield, and Ndengane upfront.

Royal AM, meanwhile, will have Nyame in goal, Nascimento, Matlaba, Rikhotso and Kobedi in defence, Cele, Ndlovu, Mahlasela, Potsane, Pelembe and Sera in midfield, and Macuphu leading the attack. The match is set to kick off at 19:00.
