Competition: South Africa Premier League

Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Cape Town Stadium (64100 seats)

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 Orlando Pirates will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Orlando Pirates have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Stellenbosch form and stats

Stellenbosch are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Premier League games here at Cape Town Stadium. Three draws in a row here at Cape Town Stadium for Stellenbosch, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

The fans are hoping that Stellenbosch will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the League Cup game against Orlando Pirates (placed 8th). In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Polokwane City with a 2-0 scoreline.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Stellenbosch at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Orlando Pirates form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Premier League for Orlando Pirates with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Orlando Pirates are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the League Cup against Stellenbosch (placed 14th). Ahead of that game was the 3-3 draw at home against Cape Town City in the Premier League.

Orlando Pirates has another fixture away, a Premier League game, against Highlands Park in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Orlando Pirates find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. The Orlando Pirates manager R. Mokwena has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
