Baroka vs Stellenbosch Predictions & Tips - All level in Polokwane

Both of these sides are struggling for form. Baroka have a poor recent home record and tend to leak goals on their own patch. Stellenbosch have been struggling in 2021 and rarely avoid conceding on their travels. I am therefore tipping both sides to score in a draw.

Baroka hold a 4-3 advantage Stellenbosch over the previous 11 meetings with three draws.

These sides last met in January as Baroka won 3-2 away at Stellenbosch. They led 3-0 after 89 minutes before two late consolation goals for Stellies.

Baroka have won just two of their last 12 league matches but still sit 9th in the table having started the season well. They have the third worst defensive record in the PSL.

A 2-0 home loss to AmaZulu was followed by a 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs and a 1-1 home draw with Cape Town City. A 2-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on their travels and and a 2-1 home win against Black Leopards came next.

In their last match, Baroka played out a dull 0-0 draw away at Golden Arrows.

Vusi Sibiya remains out injured at centre back for Baroka but Denwin Farmer was back on the bench against Golden Arrows and increases options in defence.

Richard Mbulu is a doubt up front due to injury and is losing his race to be fit in time for this clash.

After four defeats in five PSL matches, Stellenbosch had dropped to 13th place in the table before victory in their last match took them up to 12th.

A 3-2 home loss to Baroka and a 0-0 home draw with Kaizer Chiefs was followed by a 2-1 defeat away at AmaZulu. Stellenbosch then lost 3-1 at home loss to Golden Arrow and 1-0 at TTM.

In their last match, Stellenbosch won 2-1 away at Cape Town City.

Stellenbosch goalkeeper Lee Langeveldt missed two matches but was on the bench for the last game and should be back in the starting XI. Alan Robertson missed the win against Cape Town City but is fit to feature in this one.

Stanley Dimgba had been playing with a slight injury but should be able to start this match up front.
