Golden Arrows will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on Royal AM in the KwaZulu-Natal this afternoon in the DStv Premiership. After suffering a 4-0 defeat to TS Galaxy last weekend, Abafana Besthende find themselves in 11th position, one point adrift of the top eight. Royal AM, meanwhile, will be hoping to end a three-game winless run after going down 2-0 to Kaizer Chiefs last weekend.
John Maduka has been re-appointed as head coach of Golden Arrows, just three minutes after he was initially relieved of his duties. Royal AM, on the other hand, will take confidence from the fact that they have already defeated Arrows earlier this season, running out 3-1 winners in December.
Here are the line-ups for both sides:
Golden Arrows: 32. Gumede, 35. Mantshiyane, 3. Lunga, 37. Ndlovu, 30. Cele, 22. Hlatshwayo, 12. Ndwandwe, 23. Dube, 13. Mmodi, 8. Makhubela, 18. Mutizwa Subs: 28. Mbatha, 29. Mjengu, 24. Dlamini, 7. Magawana, 26. Magubane, 25. Nkosi, 9. Moon, 11. Sibiya, 4. Khumalo
Royal AM: 1. Nyame, 44. Dube, 29. Sikakane, 17. Mogaila, 7. Pelembe, 24. Lingwati, 2. Msomi, 14. Matlaba, 6. Kobedi, 11. Potsane, 33. Sera Subs: 32. Ngcobo, 45. George, 50. Masuku, 12. Mahlasela, 13. Manganyi, 34. Thikazi, 5. Dlamini, 38. Mashiane, 39. Kumalo
Golden Arrows will be hoping to restore some pride when they face off against Royal AM at the Princess Magogo Stadium this afternoon, with kick-off set for 15h30.
