Stellenbosch

WDWLWW

Stellenbosch will go into the match following on from a 1-0 Premier Division win as they beat Chippa United in their previous game.

In that game, Stellenbosch managed 60% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Chippa United had 6 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.

A succession of hard-working performances from the Stellenbosch defenders has seen their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 3 from their past 6 outings in total. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 5. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, of course.

↔️ Head to head

Looking over their past head to head meetings dating back to 06/04/2022 shows that Golden Arrows have won 1 of these and Stellenbosch 3, with the number of draws standing at 2.

🗞️ Team News: Stellenbosch

Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there is only a single fitness worry for the Stellenbosch boss Steve Barker to be concerned with. Lehlohonolo Mojela (Knee injury) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Golden Arrows might well have a job on their hands to see themselves scoring against this Stellenbosch lineup who we think might score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for Stellenbosch at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see how it plays out.
