Stellenbosch vs TS Galaxy Predictions & Tips - Stellies to end winless home run to boost survival hopes

Stellenbosch are in poor form at home but have huge motivation to win this match and have been playing very well. TS Galaxy are very inconsistent and have little to play for. I am tipping a home win to boost Stellies’ hopes of avoiding relegation.

Stellenbosch hold a 2-0 advantage across their three meetings with TS Galaxy with one draw.

The sides last met in December as Stellenbosch won 1-0 on the road thanks to a late Stanley Dimgba goal.

Stellenbosch sit just two points above the relegation zone but with a superior goal difference to the side below them. They are ten matches with a win and are underperforming their Expected Goals by more than 10 this season.

A 1-1 home draw with Bloemfontein Celtic was followed by a shock 1-0 defeat to Maritzburg United followed after conceding an unjust last minute penalty. Stellies then 1-0 at Chippa United before dominating Orlando Pirates but only managing a 0-0 draw.

Their last match saw a dull 0-0 draw at Swallows as both sides settled for a point.

Stellenbosch welcome back playmaker Junior Mendieta after suspension but Phathu Nange is a doubt in midfield.

Top centre back Robyn Johannes remains very doubtful so Zitha Macheke could play centrally.

TS Galaxy sit eighth in the PSL table with three wins in their last five matches but also six defeats in their last nine.

After losing four matches in a row, TS Galaxy won 1-0 at Baroka and 1-0 against Cape Town City. A 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns followed before a very poor performance saw a 3-0 defeat at Golden Arrows.

TS Galaxy won their last match as they scored early and held on to beat Orlando Pirates 1-0. Masilake Phohlongo scored the only goal.

TS Galaxy welcome back Bathusi Aubaas in midfield after suspension. Goalkeeper Marlon Heugh and centre back Given Msimango are banned for this match.

Speedy striker Mokete Mogaila returned from long-term injury in the last match and could start.
