Magesi will be aiming to make the most of home advantage when they host Stellenbosch in a Premier Division clash on Wednesday, August 13. Kick-off is set for 19:30.
Form Coming In
The hosts come into this match following a goalless draw against Polokwane City. While Magesi enjoyed 65% possession and created a handful of chances, their finishing let them down. Defensive consistency has also been an issue — they have conceded in five of their last six matches, with six goals against during that run.
Stellenbosch, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their last outing, going down 2-0 to Kaizer Chiefs. They had 40% possession and 14 attempts on goal, but struggled to find the net. Recent trends show that their matches have often seen at least one side fail to score, with this occurring in five of their last six games.
Head-to-Head
The last time these sides met in the league was on March 29, 2025, when Magesi edged Stellenbosch 1-0. That day, Stellenbosch created more opportunities but failed to convert, while Magesi took their chance.
What to Expect
Magesi will look to keep things tight at the back while trying to break down a Stellenbosch side that has shown defensive discipline in recent weeks. The visitors, however, boast more top-flight experience and will be eager to bounce back quickly from their defeat to Chiefs.
Prediction
This could be a tight affair, but Stellenbosch’s attacking quality may just give them the edge. A narrow 1-0 win for the visitors looks the most likely outcome.
