Gallants have lost four of their seven matches this season after buying a top-flight franchise. They finished 12th in the First Division last season.

After three losses to start the season, they won 1-0 at home vs AmaZulu. A 3-2 win at Polokwane City followed in the Carling Knockout Cup.

Last Saturday, they drew 1-1 with TS Galaxy despite playing the entire second half with ten men. On Thursday, Marumo were beaten 1-0 away at Stellenbosch after leaking a goal in the 76th minute.

Coach Dan Malesela remains without Edgar Manaka in central midfield due to suspension. Gabadinho Mhango is out of favour due to ill-discipline.

Joseph Malongoane is injured at right back due to injury. Edson Khumalo could deputise in that role once again.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellenbosch sit fourth in the PSL table with three wins and two draws in six matches. They’ve reached a cup final this season already but ended up on the losing side.

That defeat was a 3-1 loss in the MTN8 final to Orlando Pirates after a refereeing error. They’ve since won 2-1 at AmaZulu in the Carling Knockout Cup and 2-0 at Chippa United in the PSL.

After a 0-0 draw away at Richards Bay, they returned to winning ways. A 1-0 win at home to Marumo Gallants came after scoring a set-piece goal in the second half.

Coach Steve Barker is without suspended midfielder Jayden Adams. Chumani Butsaka will take his place next to Sihle Nduli.

Striker Lehlohonolo Mojela is a major injury doubt. Stellies must decide between a 4-2-3-1 shape and using a midfield diamond.
