It won’t be a walk in the park for the Stellies. They face a team desperate to resume league football with a victory after a string of disappointing results.
Steve Barker will look to patch up the leaky Stellenbosch defence, which has let in 12 goals in the last nine games. United will undoubtedly look to exploit this weakness, but their front line has to return to potency on the day – a task impeded by recent injuries and bad form.
Victory for Stellenbosch will likely see them rise above the Swallows to ninth in the table. For the Matsatsantsa, any dropped point from now until the end of the season could prove too costly for their title aspirations. They will travel to Daine Craven with no other goal but to snatch the three points.
