Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Parow Park (3000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Stellenbosch holding 11th place and Baroka lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Baroka when visiting Stellenbosch as the cities are 1700 kilometers apart.

Stellenbosch form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Stellenbosch are certainly not brimming with confidence. With Stellenbosch having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager S. Barker.

Happy days for Stellenbosch in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Highlands Park (placed 7th) that ended with a 4-1 victory. Preceding that match was the home game against Bloemfontein Celtic that was lost 1-2.

Stellenbosch have scored 4 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 10 goals have been conceded.

Baroka form and stats

The visitors are W3-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Baroka has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Baroka are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Premier League against Polokwane City (placed 16th). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Golden Arrows's place.

Goals are few and far between in Baroka's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. The Baroka defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (4 goals in 8 games).

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Baroka - Stellenbosch 0-1 played earlier this season.
