Premier League: The average league table positions shows the journey Golden Arrows and Stellenbosch have been on so far. Both sides are ready for the match; let's get this baby out!

These teams have little in common geographically as Stellenbosch have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
