Stellenbosch vs Marumo Gallants Prediction: The Stellies will get a halftime victory here

Steve Barker’s men will push for four consecutive games without defeat in the league when they face off against Marumo Gallants at the DHL Cape Town Stadium on Thursday. 

Last five games: LWDWD

Since their opening-day defeat against Golden Arrows, the Stellies have now gone four games without defeat. More recently, they settled for a negative share of the spoils against Richards Bay on the road. Stellenbosch was restrained by their opponent, who defended well and created one big chance. The result was below par compared to their recent (0-2) victory over Chippa United. 

Stellenbosch, who ended their campaign in third spot, will be poised to take advantage of their home support to see off a robust Marumo Gallants side tomorrow. Steven Baker's men have lost once and won a game on their ground this season.

Last five games: LLLWD

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's side picked up their first stalemate of the season against Ts Galaxy. Ten men Marumo Gallants fought back from a goal down to split points against their opponent at home. They have managed one win this season, which was their (1-0) victory over Amazulu on their home turf. 

The hosts have conceded nine times in five games and have found the back of the net in four games. 

Marumo Gallants will be hopeful to secure their first point on the road this season and they must be ready for another challenge against Stellenbosch. 

Over their previous ten meetings, Stellenbosch have won twice and shared the spoils in three games, while Marumo Gallants have managed five victories. The hosts were below par in their recent game on the road, and they’ll be keen to respond positively at home to the newly promoted Marumo Gallants side. 

Stellenbosch are very dangerous playing on their home turf, but this game will be held on a neutral ground tomorrow. We think Stellenbosch will still be stronger here; bet on a home win for 1.61.

We also expect the hosts to score before the break for 1.71.

This game will end in favour of the hosts, and we believe they’d win and score more than a goal for 2.01.

Good luck!
