Stellenbosch are set to host Orlando Pirates at Athlone Stadium on matchday 22 in the Betway Premiership. Stellenbosch are third in the league standings and are eight points adrift of second-placed Orlando Pirates. Here's our match prediction.

Stellenbosch heads into this clash low in spirits. On Saturday, the hosts lost 3-1 at home against Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank quarterfinal. Despite forcing a 1-1 draw in regular time courtesy of Andre de Jong's equalizer in the 86th minute, they conceded two extra-time goals, ultimately leading to their demise.

Regarding their performance in the Betway Premiership, Stellies have been in excellent form. They have avoided defeat in their last five matches, recording three wins and two draws.

In their recent league outing, they beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 away from home. This comes after playing to a 1-1 home draw against Polokwane City.

Orlando Pirates, on the other hand, were successful in the Nedbank quarterfinal. The visitors needed extra time to beat Supersport United 5-4 on penalties after playing to a thrilling 2-2 draw.

Last time out in the league, the Buccaneers had no trouble beating Chippa United 1-0 on the road thanks to Nkosinathi Sibisi's effort in the 45th minute.

That result marked their fourth win in six league games. Heading into this clash, they have won just two of their last five away league games and were once on a two-match losing streak.
