Stellenbosch vs Polokwane City Predictions - Stellies to make it four unbeaten with home win
In an upcoming league match, Stellenbosch is expected to secure a win against Polokwane City, owing to their strong home performance and Polokwane's poor away record. Stellenbosch is unbeaten in their last three matches, while Polokwane has managed only two wins in their last 17 away fixtures. Historically, Stellenbosch also holds a dominant head-to-head record against Polokwane. Despite Polokwane's solid defense, a narrow one-goal margin victory is anticipated for Stellenbosch. Predicted lineups suggest changes for both teams due to suspensions and tactical shifts.
- Stellenbosch favored to win, strong home performance.
- Polokwane City struggles in away games, 2 wins in last 17.
- Stellenbosch has a dominant H2H record against Polokwane.

Stellenbosch Dominates H2H record
Stellies hold a 10-3 advantage over Polokwane City across 15 previous meetings with two draws.
Stellenbosch have won eight of the last 11 meetings. The last tussle finished in a 1-1 draw back in February 2025.
Stellenbosch Returning to Form – Unbeaten in three matches
Stellenbosch are unbeaten in three matches (WWD). They had lost three straight matches prior to that.
A 4-0 loss at Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout Cup preceded a 2-0 loss at TS Galaxy. A 2-0 home defeat to Siwelele preceded a late 1-0 home CAF Confederations Cup win over Otoho d’Oyo.
Two very late goals with ten men led to a 2-1 win at Orbit College in the PSL. On Sunday, they conceded a late penalty to draw 1-1 away at Singida Black Stars.
Rise and Shine Troubles – Polokwane not good away from home
Polokwane have the second-best defensive record in the division. They’ve won three and drawn three of their six home matches, but it’s just two wins in the last 17 away fixtures.
Polokwane City beat Sekhukhune United 1-0 at home before a poor 4-1 loss at Durban City in the Carling Knockout Cup. A 1-0 loss at Orlando Pirates was followed by a 1-1 home draw vs Richards Bay.
After a surprise 1-0 win at AmaZulu saw them outshoot their opponents 12-3. Their last match was a tight 0-0 draw at home to TS Galaxy.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Stellenbosch (4-5-1): Stephens; Enyinnaya, Stanic, Mcaba, Manafov; Khiba, Mthiyane, Palace; Titus, Cupido, Barns.
Coach Steve Barker is without attackers Bradley Mojela and Lesiba Nku, who have been transfer-listed. He said: “We know both Bradley and Lesiba will find clubs. I don’t expect them to be with us after January.”
Key centre back Thabo Maloisane is suspended after a red card against Orbit College. Henri Stanic is set to take his place in the back four.
Polokwane City (4-2-3-1): Bwire; Matuludi, Nkaki, Nikani, Nkwe; Kambala, Maphangule; Ramabu, Moremi, Mashini; Tshabalala.
Centre back Mpho Mvundela returns from suspension for this match. Bulelani Nikani could keep his place after two strong displays.
Youngster Siyabonga Mashini could get a third straight start down the wing.
Verdict
I see Stellies winning this match. Polokwane are strong at the back, so a one-goal margin is predicted.
