Royal AM
Royal AM’s form has been more concerning. They have failed to score in 10 of their last 12 matches and are coming off a 3-0 defeat to Cape Town City in the Carling Knockout Cup. Despite a string of draws in the league, their inability to convert chances into goals has been their downfall. The team’s top players, including Mxolisi Macuphu, will need to step up if they hope to challenge Sundowns.
