Stellenbosch vs Golden Arrows Prediction: The Stellies will get off to a flying start

Steve Barker’s men will strive to kick off the new season with great momentum after a terrible ending last campaign as they face off against Golden Arrows at the Athlone Stadium.

The Stellies, who ended their campaign in third spot, will be poised to take advantage of their home support to see off the Golden Arrows tomorrow. Stellenbosch did well by retaining two of their top three players last season, and we can see them go far in the forthcoming Premier League campaign. 

Stellenbosch have also added four quality players to boost their rank and allow them to go far in the CAF Confederation Cup. 

Steven Baker's men have lost four and drawn one of their last five matches. 

Golden Arrows, under the new management of Khenyeza, aim to build on their successful survival last season with high aspirations for the upcoming campaign. Despite facing challenges and losing focus at times in the previous season, the team's resilience kept them in the league. With the transfer window behind them, Golden Arrows are poised to rise above their struggles and make a strong impact this season.

Over their previous fourteen meetings, Stellenbosch have won five and shared the spoils in seven games, while Golden Arrows have managed two victories. Both teams had a fantastic preseason, but it’s hard to tell how strong they are in this fixture. However, Stellenbosch have been a top side since the season began, winning six consecutive competitive matches.

We can’t think of any reason why Golden Arrows stand a chance here, and we are going to go with a halftime victory for the hosts for 2.09.

This game will be played at Stellenbosch Stadium, where they were formidable last season. We think the hosts have everything to secure the maximum points. 

Good luck!
