Royal AM will take on Cape Town Spurs in the South African Premier League on May 7, with kick-off set for 19:30 SA local time.
Match Intro: This will be the second time these teams meet in five months, with their previous encounter resulting in a 2-1 win for Royal AM. Unfortunately, Royal AM comes into this game on a poor run of form, having lost their last two matches to SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates. The team has failed to secure a win in their last three outings, and their defense has been struggling, conceding goals in each of their last six games. The coaching staff will likely focus on tightening the defense ahead of this clash.
Cape Town Spurs, on the other hand, are also in need of a turnaround after a loss to Polokwane City in the Premier League last Tuesday. They are facing similar defensive issues, having conceded goals in each of their last ten away matches.
