✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Cape Town City might have a difficult job to register a score against this Stellenbosch team who will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Stellenbosch at the conclusion of the game.

We’ll see what happens.
