Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellenbosch have won four of their last six matches in all competitions. They qualified for the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederations Cup and sit seventh in the PSL table.

A 2-1 league defeat at Kaizer Chiefs preceded a 2-0 home CAF win over Stade Malien Bamako. In a dead rubber, they were destroyed 5-0 away at RSB Berkane in their final CAF group match.

Stellies bounced back in a 5-0 league win at AmaZulu. With a heavily-rotated XI, they beat Kruger United 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup last weekend.

Stellenbosch are without striker Lehlohonolo Mojela. Left-footed winger Lesiba Nku has joined from Mamelodi Sundowns and could make his debut.

Key midfielder Jayden Adams has been sold to Sundowns. Versatile new signing Thato Khiba could play in a right back role.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup

Stephens; Khiba, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Nduli, Butsaka; Titus, De Jong, Lekoloane; Cupido.

Sekhukhune have won five of their last seven matches in all competitions. They sit fourth in the PSL table after taking 13 points from the last six fixtures (WWDWWL).

After successive wins, they drew 1-1 at Polokwane City. A 2-0 win at AmaZulu and a 3-0 victory at ten-man SuperSport United followed.

Following a late 1-0 loss at Kaizer Chiefs with ten men, they bounced back in the Nedbank Cup. A 2-0 home win over Cape Town City saw them reach the last-16.

Coach Lehlohonolo Seema has midfielder Sipho Mbule available after injury. Defender Trésor Tshibwabwa will return after a rest in the Nedbank Cup.

Captain Linda Mntambo is set to return to the XI as the number ten in support of last week’s hattrick hero Andy Boyeli.

Winger Vusimuzi Mncube is a doubt but key player Keletso Makgalwa will return on the left wing after a rest.
