The Rockets face Amakhosi killers

The match is a must-win for TS Galaxy

TS Galaxy remained without a win in the 2021/22 DStv Premiership season after a 3-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld on Sunday.

The half-time score was 0-0, but Mosa Lebusa, Peter Shalulile and Thabiso Kutumel scored for Sundowns in the second half.

The Rockets dropped down to 15th place on the log table, with two points from four matches. They have scored only two goals and conceded six in 360 minutes of football this season.

TS Galaxy travel to KwaZulu-Natal to take on Royal AM at Chatsworth Stadium on Sunday.

Thwihli Thwahla have had a fair start to the season, with two wins and two losses. They are fifth on the DStv Premiership log table with six points.

TS Galaxy will certainly be the underdogs. Royal AM have home ground advantage and come off a brilliant 4-1 win against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium last Saturday.

It is early in the season, but The Rockets have their backs to the wall and need a victory. A win at Chatsworth Stadium can take TS Galaxy to mid table.

Kick-off is at 15:00.
