CURRENT FORM

The Rockets have made a fine start to the second half of the season, picking up seven points from their opening four games in the DStv Premiership this year.

The only blip came in a 2-0 defeat to basement boys Cape Town Spurs on 3 March, while they were held to a 0-0 draw by Richards Bay six days later.

Ramovic's side returned to winning ways as they beat AmaZulu 2-0 on 30 March 30 to close within one point of the top eight in ninth position.

Galaxy also navigated the opening two rounds of the Nedbank Cup to book a date with league rivals Chippa United in the quarterfinals on 14 April.

Thwihli Thwahla have also collected seven points in 2024, although they've played one match more than their midweek opponents.

John Maduka's side claimed some surprise results along the way, holding Kaizer Chiefs to a 0-0 draw on 18 February before running out 2-0 victors against Cape Town City on 10 March.

However, they slumped to a 3-0 loss against Stellenbosch on Saturday, 30 March - their second defeat in three outings - to sit four points outside the top eight in 11th place.
