AmaZulu vs Stellenbosch Predictions


Stellies are in strong form and face a struggling Usuthu team with a new coach. I’m backing an away victory with the visitors keeping a clean sheet in this cup tie.

Head to Head


AmaZulu hold a 5-3 advantage over Stellenbosch with four draws in 12 previous meetings.

It ended 0-0 when the sides last met in May. 

AmaZulu Form & Team News


AmaZulu have sacked coach Pablo Franco Martin after a run of two wins in 17 league matches. Four losses in a row saw Arthur Zwane takes over as head coach.

On the final day of last season, Usuthu lost 3-1 at home to Golden Arrows. This season began with a 2-1 loss at Polokwane City and a 3-1 home defeat to Kaizer Chiefs (3-0 down after 23 minutes).

Before the FIFA break, AmaZulu were beaten 1-0 away by newly promoted Marumo Gallants.

The new coaching staff must decide between Veli Mothwa and the newly signed Richard Ofori in goal. 

Striker Boniface Haba has received his work permit and is pushing to start after two sub outings.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup


Ofori; Sikhakhane, Mobara, Fielies, Hanamub; Brooks, Motshwari, Ngema; Moremi, Ighodaro, Mbanjwa.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellenbosch were beaten in the MTN8 cup final in their last match. Before that, it was just one loss in 10 matches to start this season.

A heavily-rotated XI suffered a surprise 2-0 home loss vs Golden Arrows. Stellies drew 1-1 away at Vita Club in the CAF Confederations Cup with ten to progress 3-1 on aggregate. 

After 3-0 home win over Cape Town City and a 1-1 draw at Polokwane City were next. Their last match saw a 3-1 loss to Orlando Pirates in the cup final after a refereeing howler at 1-1. 

Coach Steve Barker has a settled side. Jayden Adams is available after his discipline issues on Bafana Bafana duty. 

Fawaaz Basadien should be available to start after travelling from Congo on Wednesday. Nigerian defender Enyinnaya Kazie Godswill is still awaiting a work permit.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Maloisane, Toure, Mcaba, Basadien; Adams, Nduli, Titus, De Jong, Barns; Mojela.

Verdict

I see Stellenbosch winning this match. I'm backing them to keep a clean sheet.
