The battle for a place in the Champions League will take a fresh dimension in the PSL when Stellenbosch hosts Sekhukhune United. The two are currently four points apart, Stellenbosch second and Sekhukhune United third in the PSL standings. Runaway leaders Sundowns are sure to bag one of the two Champions League tickets, having an 11-point gap with two games in hand. It thus remains for at least six sides to battle for the second slot. Stellenbosch are currently holding the advantage, with 38 points. The hosts are on a strong run coming into this game. They are unbeaten in the last eight matches, while in the PSL, they hold a 13-match undefeated streak. In those 13 matches, they have nine wins and in their last six home league matches, they’ve won four. The last team to beat them in a league game was the leaders Sundowns in September. This will be the first meeting between the two this season. In the five meetings between them, Stellenbosch haven't registered a win, but lost just once.
Sekhukhune United will know just how crucial this game is to their Champions League ambitions. After taking part in the Confederations Cup this season, they’ll want to take a step up. This is a fixture they’ve never lost, but will be keen on adding to their sole win. They are coming from a 2-2 draw with Cape Town City, a game in which they’ll rue the dropped points. Onassis Mntambo scored twice to see Sekhukhune United take a 2-1 lead to the break in that game. They however capitulated in the second half, allowing Cape Town to claw back. Despite the setback, they remain unbeaten in seven league matches, and having lost just once in the last 10. Two straight away wins in the PSL will give them hope they can bag three points against their hosts here. Their scoring form away from home in the league isn’t great though. Sekhukhune United failed to score in three of their last five away league matches. They managed more than a goal just once in nine away league matches.

Our Stellenbosch FC vs Sekhukhune United Prediction
Sekhukhune United haven't had a great scoring run in their recent away league matches. Their five meetings in history haven't had more than two goals and Stellenbosch haven't been great in attack either. With these two battling for a Champions League slot, we expect a lot of caution in their approach to the game. All indications point to a low-scoring game. Our prediction for Stellenbosch v Sekhukhune United is for the game to have under 2.5 goals.
