Cape Town City vs Stellenbosch Predictions

This match is set to be a tight and cagey affair. City are struggling to win or score goals at home. Stellenbosch are draw specialists and have a very solid backline. I am tipping a low scoring draw.

Cape Town City have drawn 3 of their last 4 home matches (all competitions).
Cape Town City have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 home matches (all competitions).
Stellenbosch have drawn 6 of their last 7 matches (Premier Soccer League).
Stellenbosch have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 7 matches (Premier Soccer League).
Stellenbosch have seen under 1.5 goals in 11 of their last 12 matches (Premier Soccer League).

Head to Head

These sides sit at 2-2 across their four meetings in the past with no matches ending in draws.

The sides last met in March as Stellenbosch won 2-1 away from home.

Cape Town City Form

City are strong at home with one defeat in their last eight PSL matches on their home turf.

They began this season with a fine 2-1 win at AmaZulu in the MTN8 quarter-final. A dull 0-0 draw against SuperSport United followed with just 0.41 xG produced before a 2-1 win at Royal AM having trailed 1-0.

Their last match saw a 0-0 draw against Swallows in the MTN8 semi-final first leg. They should have won the match comfortably having had 25 shots and 2.1 xG to 0.92 for their opponents.

Cape Town City Injuries & Team News

City should be able to welcome back key midfielder Thato Mokeke after he tested positive for COVID-19.

Coach Eric Tinkler could still be without strikers Fagrie Lakay and Tashreeq Morris due to injuries. Khanyisa Mayo could play as the false nine once again.

Stellenbosch Form

Stellenbosch only won five of 30 matches last season and narrowly survived relegation. They finished last season with four successive 0-0 draws.

They began this season with a 2-2 draw at Orlando Pirates having trailed twice against ten men. A fine 1-0 victory at TS Galaxy followed but they again faced ten men for 81 minutes.

Their last match saw a 1-1 draw at Sekhukhune United having led 1-0 after eight minutes. Stellenbosch conceded a 69th minute equaliser after going defensive to protect their lead.

Stellenbosch Injuries & Team News

Stellenbosch left back Marc Van Heerden fit to start after returning as a substitute last time out.

Judas Moseamedi will play up front against his former club. Key centre back Robyn Johannes remains out injured.

Verdict

Cape Town City v Stellenbosch

I am tipping this is to be low scoring. A draw looks to be good value.
