Carling All-Stars vs Stellenbosch FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Black Label Cup
by Devesh Jaganath | in Football Predictions
Stellenbosch will take on the Carling All-Star team in the eagerly-awaited Carling Cup on Saturday afternoon. The match will be played at the new Peter Mokaba Stadium and will feature the Carling Knockout champions facing an All-Star team that was voted for by fans. Stellenbosch earned their place in this showpiece event by winning the Carling Knockout Cup, beating TS Galaxy 5-4 on penalties after the match ended level at 1-1. That was Stellies' first-ever piece of major silverware. It also followed agonising penalty losses to Kaizer Chiefs in the MTN 8 quarter-final and to Sekhukhune United in the Nedbank Cup semi-final earlier this season. Stellies come into this match with excellent momentum, riding a five-match winning streak in all competitions and unbeaten in their last 11 games. The last time they suffered defeat was at the start of October when they were beaten by Mamelodi Sundowns. Stellies are in fourth place in the PSL at the start of the New Year, and a win here will give them a welcomed boost of confidence to push into the top three when they resume league action next weekend.
Meanwhile, the big news for fans of the All-Stars is that Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune looks set to line up between the sticks for Saturday’s encounter. This is despite Chiefs’ stating that the shot-stopper and former captain is currently serving a suspension from all football-related activities at the club. Pogiso Sanoka, Masibonge Ngidi, Ramahlwe Mphahlele and Jabulani Mokone will make up the back four. Victor Letsoalo received a late call-up due to an injury to Erasmus, and he will partner Ashley du Preez in the attack. There’s class throughout the field in this one, and it should be a fantastic atmosphere in Limpopo with plenty of cash up for grabs for players and fans alike. We’re expecting an entertaining match here and plenty of attacking football from both sides.

Our Carling All-Stars vs Stellenbosch FC Prediction
While this will be a day of entertainment, players in the match will be looking to get their hands on the huge cash prizes available. An intriguing aspect of the Carling Cup will be the innovative inclusion of Fak’ iGoal Uzobona, which is aimed at energising the game to produce earlier goals. At the commencement of the match, there will be 90 minutes and R90,000 on the clock. For each passing minute, R1,000 decreases, resulting in the potential prize money counting down to zero by the conclusion of the match. On this basis, we expect both teams to go all out to score as many as possible. Therefore, our Carling All-Stars vs Stellenbosch prediction: Both teams to score.
