Polokwane City has had a slow start to the season. They have drawn three matches, won once against Sivulele (1-0), and lost narrowly to Kaizer Chiefs (0-1). They have scored only four goals in five matches.

Polokwane tends to play defensively, sitting back and relying on rare counterattacks, which has led to few goals and unexciting performances.

Under coach Mankoba Mngqithi, Golden Arrows are known for their attacking play, scoring 11 goals in their matches. While their defense can be shaky, their offense often makes the most of opportunities.
