2024/25 Betway Premiership
Matchday 7
Sekhukhune United v TS Galaxy
Peter Mokaba Stadium
Polokwane, South Africa
Tuesday, 26 November 2024
Kick-off is at 19h30
TS Galaxy will go in search of their first win of the season when they travel to the Peter Mokaba Stadium for an encounter with Sekhukhune United on Tuesday, November 26.
The Rockets have found the going tough in the opening two months of the new campaign, although the fixture list hasn't been very kind to them.
Galaxy were forced to play five of their first six matches away from home and it doesn't get any better for them as their next two Betway Premiership fixtures are also on the road.
The Mpumalanga outfit only have two points to show for their efforts thus far, the second of which came in a 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch at Athlone Stadium most recently on November 6.
Sead Ramovic has since resigned and Adnan Beganovic takes over the reigns with the team rooted to the foot of the table, one point behind AmaZulu (15th) and a further one adrift of safety.
Babina Noko have made a decent start to the season, winning three of their opening five games to sit fifth in the standings on 10 points.
Their solitary loss came at the hands of Royal AM (2-0) on October 26, but Lehlohonolo Seema's side quickly bounced back with a 2-0 victory against Richards Bay three days later.
Sekhukhune do have two games in hand on the four teams above them and are just three points shy of third-placed Polokwane City.
Ramovic has backed former assistant coach Beganovic to succeed in his new role and believes he could take the club to the next level.
"I can only say beautiful things about Adnan - he was a loyal guy until now, and you know that I didn't go to Raja [Casablanca] because they wanted me to come alone," the German said.
"So I always said that it was not a loss not to go there, it was actually a win for my values, principles and loyalty, and now people will say, 'Look, you didn't go because of them, but now he stays when you've left.'
"But it's not like this because he asked me if this was okay with me, if not, he would not stay.
"So my advice to him was, 'Listen, you've worked your whole life, you have the highest education, you're getting this beautiful opportunity, especially in this amazing club with this top human being as chairman that you will not find at many clubs in South Africa.
"'So I wish you all the best and I'm sure you will do a better job than I did because you have the energy levels and everything. I wish you can do it, and I will be the most happy guy'."
