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.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup

Stephens; Godswill, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Nduli, Jabaar; Titus, Adams, Lekoloane; De Jong.

The Mali-based giants have four points from four CAF matches thus far. In the Premiere Division, they’ve played just two matches this season and have four fixtures in hand.

After beating Stellenbosch 2-0 at home, they secured a 1-1 draw at Desportivo Lunda-Sul. After losing 1-0 at RSB Berkane, they played out league fixures. They drew at Police and won 2-0 win at USFAS Bamako.
