Head to Head – Stellies Hold Narrow Lead

Stellenbosch hold an 8-7 advantage across 19 previous meetings with four draws.

Stellenbosch have won six of the last ten meetings. AmaZulu won the last clash 1-0 when the clubs met in September 2026.

Stellenbosch’s Inconsistent Form – Three Wins and Three Losses in 11 Fixtures

Stellenbosch’s last 13 league matches have yielded just three victories. They were unbeaten in five matches before losing their last match.

Stellies drew 0-0 at Durban City and 1-1 at home to Sekhukhune United. A 1-0 win at Kruger United saw just 38% possession, before a valuable 1-1 draw away at Kaizer Chiefs.

They reached this stage of the Carling Knockout Cup after winning 2-0 at Durban City. Their last match brought a very disappointing 2-0 home loss to struggling Chippa United.

AmaZulu in Sublime Form – Six Straight Wins in League & Cup

AmaZulu have won six matches in a row in all competitions. They sit third in the league and are in the quarter finals of the Carling Knockout Cup.

A 2-1 win at Richards Bay was followed by a 1-0 victory over ten-man Marumo Gallants. They won 1-0 at Polokwane City and 1-0 at Durban City despite allowing 17 shots in that win.

AmaZulu beat Kruger United 1-0 away in the Carling Knockout Cup thanks to a 78th-minute penalty. Their last match brought a 1-0 home win over Golden Arrows despite allowing 15 shots and only putting up 0.55 xG.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Stellenbosch (3-4-3): Garrow; Nkwali, Msimango, Vena, Lebitso, Blom, Matlou, Mashego; Daniels, Kwayiba, Plaatjies.

Sage Stephens could be rested for this cup match. Nathan Garrow may get another outing between the sticks.

Coach Gavin Hunt has Tluksani Mthethwa available after injury. Defender Mosa Lebusa and midfielder Genino Palace are ruled out.

AmaZulu (3-4-3): Mzimela; Mthethwa, Fielies, Hanamub; Radebe, Maduna, Hlangabeza, Mdaka; Mbanjwa, Ngwenya, Maqokola.

Coach Arthur Zwane has a very settled XI. He is set to name an unchanged XI with Hendrick Ekstein on the bench.

Striker Thando Ngwenya has 11 goals in 11 matches this season. Winger Athini Maqokola has four assists this season and is another key attacker.

Verdict

Stellenbosch v AmaZulu

I'm predicting AmaZulu to take a narrow victory at Stellenbosch on Sunday.
