Season ticket holders at Cape Town Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Stellenbosch languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Bloemfontein Celtic will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Stellenbosch and Bloemfontein Celtic.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Stellenbosch form and stats
Stellenbosch's struggle is real here at Cape Town Stadium with only 6 points collected from 6 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Stellenbosch, their manager S. Barker and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Stellenbosch's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Bidvest Wits (placed 4th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Baroka and winning 1-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Stellenbosch as they are travelling to their away game against Highlands Park in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
Stellenbosch has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. Stellenbosch's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
