Stellenbosch vs AmaZulu Predictions

Stellies have turned around their league form of late. AmaZulu have a poor record in this fixture. I see BTTS No in a home victory.

Key Stats – Stellies Look Good Value

Stellenbosch have won 3 of their last 5 matches (domestic competitions).
Stellenbosch have won 5 of their last 12 home PSL matches.
AmaZulu have seen BTTS No in 10 of their last 12 matches.
AmaZulu have lost 6 of their last 8 matches vs Stellenbosch.

Head to Head – Stellies Dominate of Late

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

Stellenbosch have won two of their last three league matches. They have jumped to five points above the relegation zone.

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.

After drawing 1-1 at home to Magesi in the PSL, they lost 1-0 at Golden Arrows in the Nedbank Cup. On Tuesday, they came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Kaizer Chiefs in a fortunate victory.

Eight Wins in 12 – AmaZulu Sit Fifth in the PSL

AmaZulu’s last 12 matches across all competitions have seen eight wins. On the road in the PSL, they have three wins, three draws and three defeats this season.

A 2-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates saw AmaZulu outshot 18-3. They won 2-1 at Polokwane City in the Nedbank Cup (27-11 on shots) before a 1-0 win at Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals.

In midweek, they lost 1-0 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns. Usuthu allowed 29 shots as their low block was eventually breached.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Stellenbosch (4-4-2): Stephens; Enyinnaya, Stanic, Lebusa, Mdaka; Butsaka, Jabaar, Mthiyane, Phili; Titus, Makhubu.

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.

AmaZulu (3-4-3): Johnson; Allan, Fielies, Mthethwa; Radebe, Bern, Slatsha, Hanamub; Ekstein, Ngwenya, Mbanjwa.

Coach Arthur Zwane is set to be without midfielders Siyanda Hlangabeza and Bongani Zungu. Striker Ryan Moon is also ruled out.

AmaZulu won’t make many changes to their XI. A more attacking approach is expected compared to midweek.

Stellenbosch v AmaZulu

I'm backing BTTS No in a Stellenbosch win.
