Statistics and prediction for the match
Stellensbosch are on a winning streak and have a strong defense, and in general their play lately has been pleasing to the eye. It seems to me that there will be few goals scored in this confrontation, since the guests will obviously not run headlong into the attack, so as not to run into sharp counterattacks from their opponents. I'll bet the match total is less than 2.5.
