Stellenbosch Form & Team News
Stellenbosch have been highly inconsistent of late. Their last 16 matches in all competitions have seen seven losses, six wins and three draws.
With a CAF Confederations Cup quarter-final place secured, they lost 5-0 away to RSB Berkane in a dead rubber. A 5-0 league win at AmaZulu and a 2-1 home Nedbank Cup win vs Kruger United followed.
A 1-1 home draw vs Sekhukhune United saw them face ten for an hour. Last Friday, they were beaten 1-0 at home by Kaizer Chiefs.
Stellenbosch have key left back Fawaaz Basadien available after suspension. First-choice striker Lehlohonolo Mojela has been injured for months and remains absent.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns winger Lesiba Nku is pushing for a start. Striker Ashley Cupido requires a late fitness test.
Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup
Stephens; Maloisane, Toure, Mcaba, Basadien; Nduli, Khiba; Titus, Butsaka, Nku; De Jong.
Polokwane City Form & Team News
Polokwane saw a nine-match unbeaten run ended in their last match. They sit third in the PSL table with eight wins in 17 league fixtures.
A 1-0 win at SuperSport United preceded a 1-0 win in the Nedbank Cup vs lower league The Bees FC. A third straight 1-0 victory came at home to Chippa United.
Polokwane could only draw 0-0 at TS Galaxy before losing 2-0 at struggling Richards Bay in their last match.
Polokwane City are weakened in attack without injured strikers Douglas Mapfumo and Hlayisi Chauke out injured.
Key right back Thabang Matuludi is injured. Tlou Nkwe is absent at left back so the back four is weakened.
Polokwane City Predicted Lineup
Bwire; Makhubela, Nikani, Nkaki, Gwangqa; Kambala, Maphangule; Ramabu, Marema, Appollis; Daniels.
Verdict
I'm tipping a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes with extra time required.
