The upcoming clash between Royal AM and Lamontville Golden Arrows at Mpumalanga Stadium in the KwaZulu-Natal derby holds high stakes for both teams.
Having suffered a recent defeat, Royal AM is determined to secure a win and advance up the league standings. The rivalry between the two sides, with a history of intense matchups, adds to the significance of this encounter.
Recent performances by Golden Arrows have been underwhelming, with a crushing 7-1 loss to Orlando Pirates highlighting their struggles. Despite a draw with SuperSport United, Arrows will be seeking redemption against Royal AM.
John Maduka, the head coach of Royal AM, orchestrated a significant 3-2 victory over Polokwane City in their last game, instilling confidence in the team. Maduka emphasized the importance of maintaining a winning mentality for upcoming fixtures.
As the derby approaches, Maduka acknowledges the challenge posed by a wounded Golden Arrows side, but remains focused on securing maximum points. The recent loss to Pirates has fueled Royal AM’s determination to perform at their best against their rivals.
Meanwhile, in the NFD, Maritzburg United claimed a 2-0 win over University of Pretoria, setting the stage for their upcoming match against Marumo Gallants at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium.
