Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellenbosch have won just three of their last ten matches. They have six points in the CAF Confederations Cup with two wins and two defeats in four matches.

A 1-0 win at Desportivo Lunda-Sul got them off the mark in continental action. A 1-0 loss at home to Mamelodi Sundowns and a 1-1 draw at SuperSport United followed.

Last weekend, Stellies picked up a key 2-0 home win over Desportivo Lunda-Sul. In the league, their form continues to suffer as they lost 2-1 at Kaizer Chiefs despite outshooting Amakhosi 11-5.

Coach Steve Barker is without striker Lehlohonolo Mojela. Andre De Jong could play as a false nine again.

Right back Enyinnaya Kazie Godswill is set to start. Young winger Khomotso Lekoloane is set to keep his place down the left.
