Stellenbosch vs TS Galaxy Prediction: The Stellies will advance to the next round

Steve Barker’s men will strive to kick off the new season with significant momentum after a terrible ending last campaign as they face off against TS Galaxy in the knockout phase of the MTN 8 Cup—the tournament comprising teams who ranked from top to eight on the log. Mamelodi Sundowns, who are presently the defending champions, are the favorite to lift the trophy this season.

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

Stellenbosch have also added two 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. 

The Rockets could have secured a spot in this season's CAF Confederation Cup but failed after winning just one of their last seven league games. TS Galaxy played some fantastic football last season, but mostly on their ground. 

TS Galaxy play one of the best football in the league but lacks the ability to convert most of their chances.

They have sold two of their key players, but they still look good on paper, especially after keeping their decent coach, Sead Ramovic. 

Over their previous twelve meetings, Stellenbosch have won nine while sharing the spoils in three games against TS Galaxy. Both teams had a fantastic preseason, but it’s hard to tell how strong they are in this fixture. For Stellenbosch they have managed to keep all their key players and retain their manager. 

Stellenbosch are good with cup games, and considering they are yet to taste defeat against TS Galaxy, we expect them to triumph here. 

We can’t think of any reason why TS Galaxy stands a chance here, and we are going to go with a halftime victory for the hosts for 2.50.

This game will be played at Stellenbosch Stadium, where they were formidable last season. We think the hosts have everything to advance to the next round here.

Good luck!
