Struggling Stellenbosch will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying AmaZulu in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Kaizer Chiefs, so at least Stellenbosch are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as AmaZulu have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Stellenbosch form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Stellenbosch have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Danie Craven Stadium.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus SuperSport United.
Stellenbosch are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. On the other hand, Stellenbosch have conceded 13 goals.
AmaZulu form and stats
The visitors are W4-D4-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Things are running smoothly for AmaZulu who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Kaizer Chiefs. AmaZulu are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played eight in a row without losing.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. AmaZulu goalkeeper Veli Mothwa is eager to challenge this, with his 383 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Tshakhuma.
AmaZulu are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on AmaZulu as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Stellenbosch-AmaZulu H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Stellenbosch zero wins, AmaZulu two wins, one draw. one of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
