Stellenbosch and Durban City face off in their first ever meeting. Stellenbosch, struggling after losing key players and enduring four consecutive defeats, desperately seek a win. Durban City, recently promoted, started well but have lost momentum, dropping two of their last three games. Key changes are expected in both lineups. Predictions favor Stellenbosch to edge a narrow 1-0 win. Action points: Watch for lineup changes, monitor attacking and defensive adjustments, and expect a closely fought game with few goals.

Stellenbosch vs Durban City Predictions


Stellies are desperate for points. They are backed to get a nervous victory in this match. I’m tipping a 1-0 home win.

  • Stellenbosch have won 4 of their last 7 home PSL matches.
  • Durban City have failed to score in 2 of their last 4 matches.
  • Durban City have lost 2 of their last 3 matches. 

Head to Head


This is the first meeting between these clubs.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellies are struggling this season after losing some key players. Their 11 matches this season have yielded just three victories.

A 1-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns saw just two shots on target. A 3-0 loss to Orlando Pirates followed in the MTN8 final after leaking three goals in extra time. 

Two damaging defeats followed. Stellenbosch lost 2-1 at AmaZulu before a shock 1-0 home defeat to Richards Bay on Saturday as they put up just 0.33 xG from 70% possession.

Attacking midfielder Andre De Jong is on the verge of a move to Orlando Pirates. That sale is on of many starting XI players who have departed in this transfer window. 

Coach Steve Barker could ring the changes in defence. All of Omega Mdaka, Henri Stanic and Kazie Enyinnaya are pushing for recalls. 

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Enyinnaya, Maloisane, Stanic, Mdaka; Khiba, Butsaka; Titus, Barns, Phili; Cupido.

Durban City Form & Team News


Durban City have made a good start since being promoted. They’ve lost two of their last three matches as their surprise factor has worn off. 

After winning their first two matches, they drew 1-1 at home versus Golden Arrows with 15 shots attempted. A 0-0 draw at Polokwane City preceded a 2-0 defeat at Sekhukhune United.

A solid display led to a 2-0 home win over Siwelele. On Saturday, they were outclassed in a 3-1 loss at Mamelodi Sundowns as they allowed 11 shots on target.

Terrence Mashego is available to start at left back. He missed the last match due to being ineligible against his parent club. 

Coach Gavin Hunt has to choose between Letsie Koapeng and Joslin Kamatuka up front.  

Durban City Predicted Lineup


Keet; Maphathe, Ncanana, Mkhize, Mashego; Jurgens, Nodada; Maseko, Mokwena, Domingo; Koapeng.

Verdict

I see Stellenbosch getting the win they so desperately need. I'm tipping a 1-0 victory.
