Stellenbosch (2nd)

Last five games: DWWWD

The Stellies failed in their attempt to cement the second spot as they were unable to secure the maximum points on their ground. Stellenbosch were below par but deserved to win after hitting the post once. The result was after they failed to maintain their momentum against Mamelodi Sundowns as they were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup semi-final.

The Stellies retained their place on the log after picking up eleven points from a combined fifteen. Stellenbosch are enjoying themselves in the division after a poor start to the season, as they have won eleven of their last seventeen league matches. Stellenbosch have won seven, drawn four, and lost three away from home this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous thirteen meetings, Stellenbosch have won three and three games ending in a win for Moroka Swallows, while seven games were all stalemates. The Beautiful Birds have managed one victory over their last six games and it’s dangerous considering the fact that they are just five points above the relegation playoff spot. At the same time, Stellenbosch failed to cement their place on the log as they are now a point above Orlando Pirates. Their most recent match ended in a toothless stalemate, and the implication is that they must win their remaining matches to play CAF Champions League football. 

Stellenbosch are more than desperate to secure the maximum points here, the same as hosts who have drawn their last two home games against tough teams. This is a tough fixture for both teams, but the visitors will be keen to avenge the reverse leg defeat; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.63.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.1.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.29.

Good luck!
