Kaizer Chiefs vs Stellenbosch Predictions & Tips - Chiefs’ home struggles to continue with draw

Chiefs have hit some improved results thanks to a solid defence but their league form is still very poor with two wins in their last nine. Stellenbosch are playing well on their travels but are struggling to keep clean sheets. I am tipping a low scoring draw.

Kaizer Chiefs hold a 3-0 advantage against Stellenbosch across their five meetings with two draws.

Their last match was in November as Stellenbosch drew 0-0 at home with Chiefs.

Chiefs sit 9th in the PSL table and have two wins in their last 13 matches in all competitions. However, the side are now five matches unbeaten and have two draws and one win in their last three in the league.

After a 4-0 humbling at Wydad Casablanca, Chiefs beat Petro de Luanda 2-0 at home before 1-1 at Maritzburg United and then drawing 0-0 away at Petro de Luanda. A shock 1-0 home victory against Orlando Pirates followed.

In their last match, Chiefs faced a completely second string Wydad Casablanca and won 1-0 at home after Bernard Parker’s goal despite having goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi red carded after 40 minutes and Samir Nurkovic sent off in the last minute.

Chiefs will be without the suspended Njabulo Blom in midfield for this match whilst Anthony Agay and Erick Mathoho are expected to be absent with injuries in defence.

Lebogang Manyama returns from a domestic suspension and will play in midfield whilst Khama Billiat could feature as a substitute in attack after long term injury.

Stellenbosch are six points clear of relegation and sit in 12th place in the PSL table thanks to two recent league victories.

An eight match winless run started 2021 for Stellenbosch with a 1-0 loss at TTM the final match in that slump. A 2-1 home win against Cape Town City followed before winning 3-1 at Baroka. Stellenbosch then lost 2-1 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Their last match saw a 1-1 home drawn with SuperSport United having led 1-0 with 80 minutes on the clock.

Stellenbosch will welcome Marc van Heerden back into the side at left wingback after suspension. Ryan Moon was sold this week to a club in Sweden so their options in attack are limited.

Phathu Nange missed the last match with injury but should return to bolster midfield options.
