Three Defeats in Six – Stellies’ Top Eight Hopes Fading

Stellenbosch had gone seven PSL matches without defeat after changing their coach. Their last six matches have seen three defeats.

After losing 2-1 at Richards Bay, they bounced back to beat Sekhukhune United 3-1 with 2.36 xG. A late 1-1 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns came from a late equaliser from the penalty spot.

A late 1-0 loss at Polokwane City was followed by a 2-0 loss at home to Orlando Pirates. They played out a tight 0-0 draw at Durban City in their last match.

Unbeaten in Three – Orbit Sit a Point Above Drop Zone

Orbit have strung together a three-match unbeaten run in their pursuit of safety. Their gap to the relegation zone is just one point, though.

A 2-1 home loss to Golden Arrows made it four defeats in five matches. A 1-1 draw at Durban City was followed by a key 2-1 win at relegation rivals Magesi as they were outshot 18-6.

Their last match brought a 0-0 home draw vs AmaZulu. Orbit outshot their fourth-placed opponents 12-3.

Stellenbosch (4-4-2): Masuluke; Enyinnaya, Ndah, Maloisane, Tiwani; Titus, Palace, Butsaka, Phili; Makhubu, Mabasa.

Stellies are without Sage Stephens in goal due to suspension. Oscarine Masuluke will get a rare opportunity in this one.

Mthetheleli Mthiyane is banned in the engine room. Coach Gavin Hunt could go with an attacking 4-4-2 formation to try to get a victory.

Orbit College (4-2-3-1): Moerane; Vilakazi, Ngiba, Nhlapo, Jingana; Batsi, Thibedi; Moleleki, Mabele, Khoto; Mahlatsi.
