Polokwane vs Stellenbosch Prediction: Both teams have their sights on winning

At Pietersburg Stadium, Polokwane and Stellenbosch will face off as part of the second round of fixtures in the South Africa Premier League. The opening game of the season was a loss for the home club, while the away team, Stellenbosch, was victorious over the challenging Orlando Pirates.

After suffering a 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City in their previous Premier Division match, Polokwane City will be seeking to build upon that performance in this match.During that match, Polokwane City had 36% possession of the ball and 8 shots on goal, but none of them were successful. Their competitors, Cape Town City, had 14 shots on goal, with four of them landing on the target. In recent times, it has been an extremely unusual occurrence for Polokwane City to not give up a goal. In their previous six matches, Polokwane City failed to keep their opponents from scoring in five of those contests, which resulted in a total of ten goals being conceded to their opponents.

Stellenbosch is coming into this matchup on the back of a victory in their most recent Premier Division match, which they won 1-0 against Orlando Pirates. Stellenbosch had 32% possession of the ball during that game and 8 shots on goal, with 4 of them finding the target. The opposition team, the Orlando Pirates, had 18 shots on goal, but only four of them were on target. A string of solid performances by the Stellenbosch defense has resulted in the team allowing only four goals over the course of their most recent six matches combined. In total, these matches have taken place. During the same span of time, their own forwards have scored 11 goals.

In recent history, Polokwane City and Stellenbosch have only competed against one another twice. In those two contests, Stellenbosch came out on top both times, while Polokwane City went winless. In the head-to-head matchups, Stellenbosch managed to score three goals while Polokwane City was held scoreless in all of their attempts.

Taking into consideration how both of these teams performed in the first week of the season, this should be another game with a low total number of goals scored. As a result of the fact that the away team performed well in the first game, there are high expectations placed on them in this one as well. In the meantime, Polokwane will do everything in their power to avoid another loss. Consequently, a wager on the home team to either win or draw the game.
