Milford vs Stellenbosch Predictions

Stellenbosch have been showing great cup pedigree over the last 18 months. They travel to a struggling Milford side who sit 28 places below them in the football pyramid. I’m backing an away win to zero.

Milford have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 matches.

Milford Form & Team News

Milford sit 14th in the National First Division. Only goal difference keeps them outside the relegation zone.

They began 2024 with a 1-0 loss at title-challenging Orbit College before a 0-0 home draw vs Maritzburg United. A win on penalties followed in the Nedbank Cup after drawing 0-0 away to Kaizer Chiefs.

Since then, it’s been two league losses. They were beaten 3-1 at home by Hungry Lions and 1-0 at JDR Stars.

Coach Nkululeko Buthelezi will play his best XI despite being in a relegation battle.

Milford FC have no injuries or suspensions to deal with.

More information on the starting XI will be available closer to kickoff.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellenbosch are unbeaten in 16 matches in all competitions. They’ve draw 1-1 in four of their last five fixtures.

Stellies won the Carling Knockout Cup in December their 2024 so far has been mixed. They drew 1-1 at SuperSport United (PSL) and then needed penalties to beat Pretoria Callies in the Nedbank Cup after another 1-1 draw.

A 1-1 home draw vs Chippa United preceded a 1-0 win at Cape Town City in the derby. Last Saturday, they could only draw 1-1 at home with bottom-placed Cape Town Spurs.

Coach Steve Barker is without Sage Stephens in goal due to injury. Jayden Adams should return in midfield.

Ismail Toure returns from suspension. He will start at the back. Darrel Matsheke had his contract terminated for misconduct.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup

Masuluke; Van Rooyen, Toure, Mcaba, Basadien; Adams, Nduli; Titus, De Jong, Van Wyk; Rayners.

Verdict

Milford v Stellenbosch

I see Stellenbosch winning this match to zero. I'm tipping a 2-0 victory as my correct score.
