Black Leopards vs Stellenbosch Predictions & Tips - Stellies to boost survival hopes with away win

Leopards are in awful form and are both struggling to score goals or keep clean sheet. Stellenbosch have been good on the road of late with two wins and a draw at Kaizer Chiefs. I am tipping them to 

Leopards and Stellenbosch sit at 3-3 across their nine previous meetings with three draws since Stellenbosch were formed in 2016.

Their last meeting was in January as the sides drew 1-1 in Cape Town.

Black Leopards look set for relegation having lost 15 of their last 20 league matches. They sit 16th in the PSL table with a six point gap to safety.

Leopards have lost six of their last seven matches in all competitions with the only draw being a shock 1-1 against log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. They have failed to score in four of those matches.

Their last match saw a 1-0 defeat at a Swallows side who had not won in nine matches before that.

Leopards were missing striker Mohammed Anas for their last match but have a clean bill of health otherwise and no suspensions.

New signing Sanele Mathenjwa is hoping for a debut in central midfield.

Stellenbosch have seen some improved performances and results of late but a four match winless run in the league means they are in the relegation battle. They sit 12th in the table with a six point gap to the two relegation spots.

A 2-1 win against Cape Town City was followed by a 3-1 win at Baroka before losing late to Mamelodi Sundowns. A 1-1 draw with SuperSport came next before throwing away two leads to draw 2-2 at Kaizer Chiefs.

Stellenbosch lost their last match 1-0 to AmaZulu after a last minute goal.

Stellenbosch are desperate to get their captain and defensive lynchpin Robyn Johannes back from injury after he missed the last two matches. He is touch and go for this clash.

The rest of the lineup is very settled with only midfield Phathu Nange pushing hard to start having netted four goals as a substitute this season.
