Stellenbosch hold a 7-6 advantage across 17 previous meetings with four draws.

Stellenbosch have won six of the last eight meetings, but lost 2-1 away when the sides last met in August.

Two PSL Wins in Three – Stellies Up to 11th in the PSL Table

Stellies beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at home in the Nedbank Cup. They lost 3-0 at Otoho d’Oyo drew 0-0 at home to Singida Black Stars in a CAF dead rubber.

Coach Gavin Hunt has striker Wonderboy Makhubu available to start after suspension. Fellow forward Tshegofatso Mabasa will need a late fitness test.

Key defender Thabo Maloisane is suspended and centre back Olisa Ndah is still waiting on his work permit. Langelihle Phili has nine goals this season and is a key man.
